Visual Studio Code on Fedora 39 / Gnome - lockups

[Tom]

Anyone else using Visual Studio Code on Gnome?

 

Overall, it works fine, but the SaveAs dialog nearly always locks it up. And sometimes it doesn't. When it doesn't lock up, it opens the expected Save As dialog and prompts for a filename, in the current working directory for code.

 

Most of the time, it puts up a brief message a little below the top, centered, which says '"Save As" is ready' and will not respond to mouse clicks or keyboard. The mouse pointer moves around, but ignores clicks. I can however click the Gnome Close Window [X] and that does close it.

 

After restating VSCode: If the code I was trying to save hadn't been given a name before, it comes back as "untitled" and then I can save it.

 

I have scoured the intertubes looking for that message, and failing to find it. There are numerous references to lockup on save, and I have disabled hardware acceleration and some git integration features in response, but to no avail.

 

I'd be happy to hear and clues you might have.

 

P.S. I'm learnin' me some Python. Again.

P.P.S I'm running Gnome 45.4 on Wayland.

Gnome extension Grand Theft Focus installed-- it worked once for me. I'll know if it's a long-term fix once I roll through a few more source files. Usually, creating a new source file and doing the first SaveAs is what does it. The bizarre thing is how random it is-- It may work great for a while, then lock up, or the first attempt to save a new file causes the problem.

 

If this is really the solution, I'd be very curious to know where the hidden dialog is. When this first started happening to me, I looked everywhere for a hidden dialog, to no avail.

 

Thanks very much for the tip.
