João Soares a86de48c70 editor: Fix semantic tokens missing when opening buffer from multibuffer (#53712)
Summary

Semantic token highlighting was missing when opening a file from
multibuffer search results (Ctrl+Shift+F). Which file got hit depended
on window size and scroll offset.

## Root cause

Two async tasks race to write `post_scroll_update`:

1. `set_visible_line_count` (scroll.rs:682) fires on first render and
spawns a task that calls `register_visible_buffers` + `update_lsp_data`
(requests semantic tokens).

2. `open_buffers_in_workspace` (editor.rs:25049) calls
`change_selections` with autoscroll right after creating the editor.
This emits `ScrollPositionChanged`, whose handler (editor.rs:2655)
replaces `post_scroll_update` with a task calling
`update_data_on_scroll`.

3. `update_data_on_scroll` (editor.rs:26099) has a singleton guard: `if
!self.buffer().read(cx).is_singleton()` that skips `update_lsp_data` for
single-file buffers. This is a scroll optimization, singleton buffers
don't change their visible buffer set on scroll.

4. The initial task gets dropped, the replacement skips
`update_lsp_data`, semantic tokens are never requested.

## Fix

Added a `needs_initial_lsp_data` flag to the Editor struct, set to
`true` on creation. `update_data_on_scroll` checks this flag alongside
the singleton guard, so `update_lsp_data` runs at least once even for
singletons. The flag flips to `false` right after, so subsequent scrolls
behave exactly as before. No perf impact after the first render.

Licensing

License information for third party dependencies must be correctly provided for CI to pass.

We use cargo-about to automatically comply with open source licenses. If CI is failing, check the following:

  • Is it showing a no license specified error for a crate you've created? If so, add publish = false under [package] in your crate's Cargo.toml.
  • Is the error failed to satisfy license requirements for a dependency? If so, first determine what license the project has and whether this system is sufficient to comply with this license's requirements. If you're unsure, ask a lawyer. Once you've verified that this system is acceptable add the license's SPDX identifier to the accepted array in script/licenses/zed-licenses.toml.
  • Is cargo-about unable to find the license for a dependency? If so, add a clarification field at the end of script/licenses/zed-licenses.toml, as specified in the cargo-about book.
