Flatpak build writes config files outside of sandbox

[BeatLink]

On flatpak builds, the app will create a folder in the homefolder called ~/.vscode-oss. The app should instead store these configuration files in its own .var folder

This is probably a hard-coded path in the source code rather than using the proper XDG locations. It also creates ${HOME}/.tooling/ sub-directory — not sure if it's the IDE or an extension because all I have in that one is a gradle/ sub-sirectory, so it might be the RedHat Java extension.

Anyway, I don't think this is a Flatpak issue, because I've tested the AppImage and the (64-bits) ZIP and all behave in the same way.

~~It isn't limited to flatpak, VSCode has this behaviour on all the distros I've tested (#671).~~

My bad! It's the folder containing the extensions. I was thinking that the folder's name was wrong. It is but that not the issue here.
