Description

Same symptoms as in #188407 that go away with code --ozone-platform=wayland

any attempt to resize the application window larger, or click maximize, results in the application appearing to be fullscreen, but any space larger than the original window the app opened in is unclickable. If another window is behind the app in that space, it will click whatever is behind it. Tried this using VS Code from the Ubuntu Software app (snap), and same result using the .deb binary downloaded directly from Microsoft. No extensions installed, happens with fresh install.

Does this issue occur when all extensions are disabled?: Yes/No

  • VS Code Version: 1.88.1
  • OS Version: Ubuntu 24.04

Steps to Reproduce:

not sure

Contributor guide

Research direction
Investigate the window resizing behavior on Ubuntu 24.04 with default Ozone platform (likely X11) vs Wayland. Trace the mouse event handling and window management code in the Electron layer. Compare with the referenced issue #188407 for any fixes that might have regressed.
