Description

Does this issue occur when all extensions are disabled?: Yes

  • VS Code Version: Version: 1.85.1 (user setup)
  • OS Version: Windows_NT x64 10.0.22621 (Windows 11 23H2)

I have three monitors arranged: 1080p 23" left 1080p 23" centre 4k 15.6" laptop right

In Windows they appear like this: image

However obviously the 4k screen is physically smaller (but higher resolution) so it's the other way round physically to what's shown.

Steps to Reproduce:

  1. Have a Maximised window and minimise it
  2. Bring the window back up
  3. The window will be stretched wide across the centre and right hand monitor:

Before: image

After: image

Contributor guide

Research direction
Investigate the window restoration logic in the Electron shell code, specifically the handling of window bounds and multi monitor setups. Check if the issue is related to the window state restoration after minimize or the handling of DPI scaling differences between monitors.
