nRF Connect Devicetree Visual Editor Nodes checkboxes don't affect dts file

I have nRF Connect for VS Code v2024.11.75 and am using SDK 2.6.1.  In Lesson 3, Exercise 1 of the nRF Connect SDK Intermediate course in step 8 the instructions show to open the Devicetree Nodes view and then check the gpio0, gpio1 and gpiote boxes.  This should lead to the following code being added to the associated custom board dts file.  it does NOT.  The text doesn't appear in the dts file, and the checkboxes will not stick.  If I move to another window and come back, the checkboxes are unchecked.

&gpio0 {
    status = "okay";
};

&gpio1 {
    status = "okay";
};

&gpiote {
    status = "okay";
};

The exercise also shows that GPIO pins should show up on the pins view.  They do not!

I have to manually add the text to the dts file.  Then the checkboxes will stick, and the pins show up in the Pins view.

Is the Devicetree Visual Editor broken?
