UX issue: When choosing "Check for updates" from actions panel, no UI changes/progress appear #198792

Closed vfonic closed 12 months ago

vfonic commented 12 months ago

Type: Bug

I can see that, when I click on "Code" in macOS menu bar, that VS Code is downloading updates. But, when I chose an action in action bar, I'd expect some, any kind of visual confirmation that something is happening, without me having to click on a menu item to find it.

VS Code version: Code 1.82.2 (abd2f3db4bdb28f9e95536dfa84d8479f1eb312d, 2023-09-14T06:00:27.244Z) OS version: Darwin arm64 22.5.0 Modes: Unsupported

Thanks for creating this issue! It looks like you may be using an old version of VS Code, the latest stable release is 1.84.2. Please try upgrading to the latest version and checking whether this issue remains.

Happy Coding!

Well, now I get a modal window: There are no new updates.

So I cannot check if, when there are new updates, there's any change in the UI or not.

Just to clarify, I'm not talking about automatic updates in the background. I have automatic updates disabled.

I'm talking about user calling a certain action and then expecting some feedback in the UI so that he knows he actually called the action and something is happening.

Related to https://github.com/microsoft/vscode/issues/137344#issuecomment-1039007787 which describes Windows behaviour.

@gjsjohnmurray yes, this is the exact same issue. Perhaps mark this one as duplicate and close it?
