vscode: VSCode freezes/hangs/hitches when overlapping on Wayland

  • VSCode Version: stable: 8795a988 2019-11-13 (20) 143MB classic
  • OS Version: OS: Pop!_OS 19.10 x86_64 on 5.3.0-20-generic
  • Extra: running under Wayland - only happens in Wayland AFAICTL

Steps to Reproduce:

  1. Open VSCode and maximize it. Verify everything works nominally.
  2. Resize VSCode and position it so that the window overlaps / extends off-screen.
  3. Type and notice that VSCode freezes/hangs/hitches.
  4. The hitches are worse and more constant the more the app overhangs.
  5. You can resolve freezes/hangs/hitches by moving the mouse over other areas of the screen.

The support for wayland comes from chromium, can you verify if chromium 76 has the same issue by loading https://vscode-web-test-playground.azurewebsites.net/
