My VScode is highlighting non-ascii characters:

Any idea why and how to get rid of it?

Never mind. I found the answer: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/75135676/deactivate-highlighting-of-special-characters-in-vscode
But I still don't know why that setting became true.

This is likely this issue: https://github.com/microsoft/vscode/issues/234617
The problem only occurs when opening VS Code for the first time.

Indeed, it was the first time I ran VScode after a macOS update.
