Opens with no window button (minimize, maximize)

[blakegearin]

Type: Bug

If I use "code ." in iTerm it opens Visual Studo Code with no window buttons present, such as minimize and maximize. This started happening in the last week. Before the buttons were present.

VS Code version: Code 1.71.0 (784b0177c56c607789f9638da7b6bf3230d47a8c, 2022-09-01T07:25:25.516Z) OS version: Darwin arm64 21.5.0 Modes: Sandboxed: No

[vscodenpa]

Thanks for reporting this issue! Unfortunately, it's hard for us to understand what issue you're seeing. Please help us out by providing a screen recording showing exactly what isn't working as expected. While we can work with most standard formats, .gif files are preferred as they are displayed inline on GitHub. You may find https://gifcap.dev helpful as a browser-based gif recording tool.

If the issue depends on keyboard input, you can help us by enabling screencast mode for the recording (Developer: Toggle Screencast Mode in the command palette).

Happy coding!

The buttons flash and then are gone.

Can you check if the issue happens with code --disable-extensions, if it still repros then try starting with code --user-data-dir /tmp/vscode and see how it looks.

[blakegearin]

Was able to reproduce with code --disable-extensions. With code --user-data-dir /tmp/vscode it does not occur. It always launches in the middle of the page instead of full screen/maximized.

I think the issue is it's trying to launch in full screen, failing, and instead going to Desktop in a window presenting in full screen mode.

[blakegearin]

Confirmed this issue occurs whether the window.restoreFullscreen setting is enabled or disabled. For reference, window.nativeFullScreen is enabled.

Let me know if you need any further information from me.

[gjsjohnmurray]

In Settings Editor please search for window.experimental.windowControlsOverlay.enabled and set its checkbox. Then restart VS Code. Does the problem remain?

[blakegearin]

There doesn't appear to be a setting for window.experimental.windowControlsOverlay.enabled I can enable. Search didn't come back with anything. Tried manually setting it in settings.json but it says "Unknown Configuration Setting" on hover.

Tried checking for updates and there are none. My versions are listed above but here's my latest. Perhaps this is experimental setting for Windows/Linux and not macOS?

[gjsjohnmurray]

Sorry, you are correct. That setting only exists on Windows.

[deepak1556]

Given that issue does not repro with new user data directory, looks like a setting might be the trigger for this issue. Can you share your editor settings. Thanks!

[blakegearin]

Confirmed the same behavior is happening on two macOS devices signed into my account.

I found a work around for a single window. If you go Window > Tile Window to Left/Right of Screen this will force it into full screen. From there you can bring down the window buttons as normal.

Edit: If it helps debugging issue, I was put into this state by doing the most recent update (Sept 2022). After update, every window that was fullscreen before was like this. The other windows that weren't fullscreen were fine. However, I do not have the same issue were it opens in that state from code ./ For me, this was a temporary state

[blakegearin]

@deepak1556 Do you need more information to move this out of confirmation-pending ? We have 3 reports now of this happening.

[trexx]

FWIW this is happening on Windows too once I just updated today.

Enabling window.experimental.windowControlsOverlay.enabled gets this back for us on Windows.
