Can you guys retest this with once monkeypatch 0.1.16 is online?

I finally managed to reproduce the problem. I get the error when I trying to choose the encoding for the file. I’m looking into this.

I encountered the issue approximately two weeks ago, too. However, I could not reproduce the issue… (So I did not say anything.)

I updated VS Code Stable this morning, and the same error occurred (as is expected).

“Reinstalling VS Code Insiders and NOT applying the Monkey Patch is the only way to fix it.” The same here.

Update in the morning on the tenth of December:

The issue remains in the latest insider build (as is expected). It is still there.

However, I cannot reproduce the issue on PCs other than my own PC (as is expected, again). Why am I unable to reproduce the issue?

Maybe there is something else that causes the issue.

First time running Code after upgrading to Windows 11 and got the same problem. I tried disabling Monkey Patch and Customize UI. Didn’t make any difference.
