Editing a test file causes the code lenses to jump around

Identify cause and possible solution.
Do other extensions have the same issue?

This has been reported a number of times in the past, and users have hence requested for the ability to turn these code lenses off.

Maybe you can show the code lense after the colon of the test_function definition. That would prevent the jumping of lines up and down. E.g.
def test_increment(): Run Test|Debug test
Or in front of the 'def':
Run Test|Debug test def test_increment():

This is incredibly annoying! @rogererens's suggestions would look a bit inconsistent with the rest of the UI IMO. I would prefer a way to disable these code lenses until this problem is fixed.

I had this issue today: Jumpy code lense for pytest.

My project is a client folder with a vue app without a test suite. Then I added a server folder containing the basic set up for a fast api with a python enviroment managed by pyenv (via poetry). Python 3.8.1 and pytest. My workspace file was in the client sub folder.

There are two folders in the test tab of the side bar. The one for client was empty and the one for server had the one or two basic pytest tests to start off a project. The tests worked allright and everything was fine except the constant toggling on and off of the code lense.

I since then switched to two different workspaces one for client and one for server and the problem is gone.
