File Open does nothing

[scottfagg]

Type: Bug

Picking "File Open", "Open Folder" and hitting Command-O (on a mac) does nothing. The "open file/folder" dialog box does not appear.

No errors visible. Worked fine a week ago.

Can work around it for now by drag-n-drop of files onto VS Code.

Run VSC from the console and spotted this output when i attempted to open things :

[main 2023-10-13T03:44:49.363Z] [DialogMainService]: file open dialog is already or will be showing for the window with the same configuration

A check of the desktop shows no open dlgs hidden by other windows.

Traced this to an issue with the OS - the file open/save dlg box was failing for all apps (VS Code, Office, some native apps)
