Description

@vorburger

Does this issue occur when all extensions are disabled?: Yes

  • VS Code Version: 1.96.2
  • OS Version: Fedora Linux 41 Workstation

See https://github.com/vorburger/vorburger.ch-Notes/blob/develop/linux/visual-studio-code-crash.md for a detailed description of how I have narrowed this down to somehow being caused by "workbench.productIconTheme": "adwaita".

This is recommended on https://github.com/piousdeer/vscode-adwaita#suggested-settings (I've also reported this there) and used to work for me for many years, but it appears that some recent changes (last few weeks or so) in Fedora somehow broke this.

Please let me know if you would like any assistance in further debugging this? (I did try to provide you a Crash Report but there was no *.dmp in that --crash-reporter-directory, so somehow this probably happens "earlier"?)
