Dark/Light UI mode changes open settings.json in editor with errors #144888

Closed 497e0bdf29873 closed 2 years ago

497e0bdf29873 commented 2 years ago

Issue Type: Bug

Either vscode has a universal bug or it has somehow gone into a "mode", which I do not know to trigger. However, whenever the operating system switches between dark/light user interface mode, vscode opens settings.json in the editor and complains with a notification popup that

Failed to save 'settings.json': The content of the file is newer. Please compare your version with the file contents or overwrite the content of the file with your changes.

Sometimes there is also:

Unable to write into user settings because the file has unsaved changes. Please save the user settings file first and then try again.

This happens both on schedule, or simply going into System Settings -> General and switching between Auto/Light/Dark (Switching between Light and Auto when the mode would be schedule be Light does not trigger the issue. Same with Dark/Auto when the scheduled mode would Dark.)

I've closed settings.json every time after it is opened, but consistently, whenever there is a Dark/Light mode switch, vscode opens it in the editor with the above complaints.

Does it happen with all extensions disabled? (F1 -> Reload with extensions disabled)

The content of the file is newer. Please compare your version with the file contents

Did you try to hit compare button and see what's conflicting?

whenever the operating system switches between dark/light user interface mode

Does your Code change theme in sync to OS? ("window.autoDetectColorScheme": true)

497e0bdf29873 commented 2 years ago

Yes, auto-detect is on.

It seems that the culprit may have been the touchbarcommandshortcuts extension, which I didn't even notice that I still had (it is a leftover from my previous laptop that I don't even need on this one). Sorry I didn't notice to disable that before reporting. (I did already disable Monkey Patch and Customise UI that I use to get a compact title bar, as those seemed liked potential culprits.)

I'll close this for now.
