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. ## Self-review checklist - [x] I've reviewed my own diff for quality, security, and reliability - [ ] Unsafe blocks (if any) have justifying comments - [ ] The content is consistent with the [UI/UX checklist](https://github.com/zed-industries/zed/blob/main/CONTRIBUTING.md#uiux-checklist) - [x] Tests cover the new/changed behavior - [x] Performance impact has been considered and is acceptable Closes #53051 ## Demo Before: https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/77d07d95-cb4a-44ff-842d-1f7a46653ca9 After: https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/2c942f52-4ec3-459f-a97b-93919e4bfb3d ## Release notes - Fixed semantic token highlighting missing when opening a buffer from multibuffer search results
