External Applications Displayed as VS Code in Gnome Sidebar #183514

Closed sven1904 closed 1 year ago

sven1904 commented 1 year ago

When I start an application (e.g. Firefox) from within the VS Code terminal it does not appear as a separate icon in the Gnome sidebar. Instead it just adds another indicator (red dot) to the VS Code icon in the Gnome sidebar: Screenshot from 2023-05-26 11-30-38 Is this intended?

And after clicking on the Firefox icon now, it still does not indicate that Firefox is running but adds another window to VS Code: Screenshot from 2023-05-26 11-31-17 This cannot be intended!

And, as mentioned before, this does not only hold for Firefox, but also many other applications, e.g. Thunderbird, Telegram, Element, ReText, Gazebo, Gimp, Shotwell, ...

But, it does not hold for all applications. Some show a normal/expected behavior, e.g. Gnome Terminal, Nautilus, Signal, Evince, ...

If there's any configuration that I can change to "fix" this, I would appreciate any feedback? Otherwise, I would appreciate a bugfix for this in a future release.

OS: Ubuntu 20.04.3 LTS Gnome version: 3.36.8 VS Code version: 1.78.2

Hi @sven1904, does this issue still occur when you do a clean uninstall of VS Code followed by an install of the newest version of VS Code, 1.82?
