vscode: VSCode freezes system when launching from CLI on macOS

  • VSCode Version: 1.34.0, 1.35.0-insider
  • OS Version: macOS 10.14.5

Steps to Reproduce:

  1. Open terminal
  2. Run code-insiders --disable-extension --disable-gpu --verbose
  3. Throughout the process, the system is completely unusable 1 to 3 times, each last for a few seconds.

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

Launch VSCode from GUI is fine.

~Also, not sure if this is related. I ran ps -ax | grep "Visual Studio Code.app" to check whether there is any hangout process. There is a hangout process in the background even I quit VSCode. The pid changes every time I ran the ps command, so it is impossible to kill the process.~ never mind this, it was just the grep process.

Does this reproduce when running a bare Electron application from the command line?
