Thanks for the report, I've added this to the project board. How big are these git repos?

Is this specific to git repos?

The one I can repro it 100% on is 3.75 GB with 100k files.

Is this specific to git repos?

Looks like it, I don't have much else in there.

Is it also an issue if you copy that repo off of WSL?

I copied it to a dev drive and it seems to work fine there, also a vhdx

Thanks! It must be something specific to WSL.

Can confirm that this is still broken on 3.1

Tested with 3.2 and looks like it only happens in "Details" view, icons are fine
