I noticed that this behavior was accompanied by the last opened file not being remembered, but sometimes opening a new window from the desktop context menu action can remember the last opened file (very rare, I didn't get the pattern) .

Then I noticed that unchecking the Show Welcome Page option at the bottom of the Welcome Page that appears in the new window solved all the problems.

I'm using the code oss from Arch Linux repo. I meet this issue too.

The same happens in Ubuntu 24.04.

I still encounter this issue in archlinux now, does anyone have a workaround?

If you're using KDE Desktop, you can try to use kwin windows rule to fix this problem.

It is a runtime bug and is addressed via https://github.com/electron/electron/pull/46450. We should have the fix in vscode soon.
