Research direction
The issue is about incorrect icons in the file picker when running VSCode as a Snap. The snap package may be using wrong icon theme or paths. Check the Snap packaging files (e.g., snapcraft.yaml) and how icons are referenced in the file picker. Look at src/vs/platform/files/... for icon handling. There are two assignees, so check if any PR is in progress or if they have provided guidance.
