Crashing when clicking on File menu with native title bar

[michelhe]

Type: Bug

Steps to Reproduce:

1. Arch linux with wayland (hyprland compositor)
2. Hover/click the file menu
3. All windows crash

This looks very similar to the issue discussed at #230604

But at least for me, I'm on latest versions and made sure that the recommended workaroudn of removing meta/super key from the keybind is applied, still - vscode crashes for me.

Still happens if I launch with code --disable-extensions

If I downgrade to 1.94.0 it no longer crashes but I cannot use extensions such as GH copilot.

Can you share the crash logs following the steps at https://github.com/microsoft/vscode/wiki/Native-Crash-Issues#creating-a-crash-report

[michelhe]

Sure, attached the dmp and its meta file.

dumps.tar.gz

Based on the stack trace it seems related to https://issues.chromium.org/issues/374313509

Couple of follow-ups,

1. Do you have a multi monitor setup, if so does the crash mitigate when using a single monitor ?
2. Can you run the application with WAYLAND_DEBUG=client code --ozone-platform=wayland --verbose --vmodule='wayland*=2' and attach the generated logs

[michelhe]

Hi, thanks to your input, I indeed was able to confirm that the crash is mitigated when my Laptop's screen is disabled and only external monitor is enabled.
As soon as I enable the laptop monitor (== open the lid) the crash can be reproduced.

I'll enable the logs and attach shortly

[michelhe]

BTW also crashes without external monitors connected - only when the laptop monitor is enabled, either with or without external monitor.

Looks like the last lines at the moment of crash:

[0126/094403.125420:ERROR:elf_dynamic_array_reader.h(64)] tag not found
[0126/094403.137710:ERROR:directory_reader_posix.cc(43)] opendir /home/michel/.config/Code/Crashpad/attachments/b1d00342-3816-4aa7-a69c-9e433e33bc1e: No such file or directory (2)

Which is similar to the error logs that appear on this issue

wayland.debug.log
