Still an issue on VSCode 1.42.0 / macOS 10.15.3
I think it’s been closed because it’s been fixed. This commit was merged to master early today https://github.com/microsoft/vscode/commit/6dc0327c9af20d0dfe7112feed7c4f75d32b0e83 🎉🎉🙏 Thank you team!
Still an issue on VSCode 1.44 / macOS 10.15.4
As a workaround I created an Automator application called “VSCode New Window” that runs a “Shell Script” (one of the available actions in Automator) with the command
/usr/bin/local/code -n.I wonder if this is the same thing as something I’ve been seeing:
EXPECTED: The new window appears. ACTUAL: Nothing happens.
Why was this closed? I think people are commenting and replying to this issue (for years) to explicitly let the team that this hasn’t been fixed. Or possibly people have been replying so it doesn’t get lost or be assumed to be fixed with Mac updates, library updates or other passive luck.
Is it a
wontfixor just too mysterious, related to Electron or some other fundamental technology that it has becomecantfix?Still an issue on VSCode 1.35.1 / macOS 10.14.5
