Problems disappear (or change) after saving about vscode-antlr4 HOT 2 CLOSED

This is normal behavior. When you save the grammar all diagnostics collected by the extension are replaced by those reported from ANTLR4. This usually gives you more issues than what was found internally. In your case however it seems that ANTLR4 only issues a warning, but no error. Hence your unkown rule/token errors disappear.

This could happen when ANTLR4 can find those rules and the extension cannot, which is a rather strange situation unless you have a special setup and the extension cannot find an import or a token vocabulary. Please check if e.g. that FLOATING_POINT_LITERAL is defined somewhere else which makes ANTLR4 able to resolve it. Is it perhaps in a .tokens file only? This is not examined by the extension and can hence lead to slightly different behavior.

Well, I didn't set antlr4.generation.importDir, and it seems that code won't generate if there's any error in .g4 file, so .tokens file doesn't exist as well.
