This is pretty weird. I can't reproduce:

But I also didn't fix anything.

The code looks good, as there is a semicolon in there: https://github.com/Microsoft/vscode/blob/03f7c83b237ceb2ea8fd5eac90c21bd3b2512ceb/resources/linux/code-url-handler.desktop#L12

When I download that exact same deb, and extract it, I verify that the semicolon is there. 🤔

Let me know if you still hit it, reopen if you can reproduce.

Hi @joaomoreno,

I removed an reinstalled it. At the end I listed the content of my .desktop file

Since this is just a warning, I'll leave it closed. I still can't repro and I'm pretty sure the semicolon is in there inside the package... so... maybe @Tyriar has an idea?

[Tyriar]

It certainly has a semicolon at the end?
