The issue appears to be that the file watcher goes out of control.
The reproduction is very simple:
mkdir mytest
cd mytest
seq 1000000 | xargs touch
code --disable-extensions .
and now the editor GUI hangs and Ubuntu shows a popup:
The window is not responding
htop reveals a bunch of processes or threads of type:
/snap/code/194/usr/share/code/code
Having multiple windows is generally the only sane way to manage multiple projects. So how to reopen then after you:
  • restart the OS or logout?
  • close all window in some other way? It can't be by closing them one by one of course, or else only the last remains. Not sure such way exists.
