Editing the csolution.yml file concurrently as file and via "Manage Solution" graphical view leads to confusion #221

Description

There is a custom editor for the csolution.yml file that displays target-types, target-sets, project-contexts, build-type and debug adapter aspects graphically. The csolution.yml file can be opened as a regular YAML file in the editor. Both views cannot share a single buffer for technical reasons.

The proposal is to switch between both view and do not allow both views concurrently. When switching between the views the user will be asked to save or discard pending changes before the switch takes place. This updated content is re-read by the view being switched to.

If the Manage Solution View is open and an attempt by the user to open the file from the file explorer, there is a flickering as it gets briefly opened but then automatically closed before the user can see and edit the content.
This is a technical limitation we would need to accept:
