open a file in an editor
run File > Open FIle. This opens a file selection dialog initialized to the home folder

It should open on the folder of the currently active editor

Same problem with open folder dialog

manelio commented 1 month ago

VS Code is awesome, but the open file dialog on Linux has been ridiculously buggy for years.

More than two years to fix the problem of the dialog opening in the background.

The fix, in the latest version, involves using a dialog inside a portal with no type-ahead support that opens in $HOME or recent files.

The open/save file dialog is a crucial control in any application. There should be a way to use the native OS dialog.

I'm going to downgrade to the previous version (1.89.1) and keep it as long as it takes.

We hadn't patched the portal code to support most of the file dialogs options, it is being addressed via https://github.com/electron/electron/pull/42308.

This is now addressed in the runtime via https://github.com/electron/electron/pull/42655, fix will be available once we adopt https://github.com/microsoft/vscode/pull/215406
