SEIZURE WARNING - "Surprise Me" causes per-frame colour changing after update #536

Open AlbinoGeek opened 1 year ago

AlbinoGeek commented 1 year ago

Versions

Summary

Peacock does not like it when you have multiple workspaces open.

Reproduction

Steps to reproduce the behavior:

  1. Restart VSCode because you just installed an update.
  2. Open a New Window from your existing workspace(s).
  3. Open a new folder, as you do, to start a new workspace.
  4. Press F1 and type "surprise", pressing enter.
  5. Seizure

Expectation

I should get a random colour choice for my newly created workspace.

Thank you @AlbinoGeek for creating this issue!

is it possible that you don't have write permissions to the folder you just opened? also looks like there is still an update pending according to that little 1 in the corner

Insiders has an update every 1-2 days (lol), so that's correct. I can reproduce this behaviour easily by changing the colour too quickly after opening the project (e.g.: while VSCode is still initializing other extensions) -- and doing F1 -> Surprise<enter>
