Toggling breakpoint makes editor shift to accomodate gutter

[lonix1]

Does this issue occur when all extensions are disabled?: Yes/No

• VS Code Version: 1.82.0
• OS Version: linux

Steps to Reproduce:

It used to be that setting a breakpoint did not shift the editor. But after #5923 all extensions that manipulate the gutter have this shifting behaviour:

That's from the highly popular "Error Lens" extension, but the problem is in other extensions too.

Please fix this behaviour so it works like before? The shifting of the editor to make room for the gutter ruins concentration. It would be better to have a (optional) fixed size so it doesn't need to resize.

This is another example of a deterioration from previous behaviour, and also a major usability bug.

A fix should not be based on "upvotes".
