Visual Studio Code exits with signal 5/TRAP whenever the File menu is accessed

Description:

Visual Studio Code crashes whenever the File menu is accessed. After clicking on the File menu, or moving over to it from a different menu with mouse or cursor keys, the application locks up for a few seconds and then exits.

journald contains:

Nov 01 22:18:50 lethe systemd-coredump[102911]: Process 102622 (code-oss) of user 1000 terminated abnormally with signal 5/TRAP.

Additional info:

  • package version(s): 1.95.0-1, 1.95.1-1
  • config and/or log files: I deleted everything under ~/.vscode-oss/, ~/.config/"Code - OSS", and ~/.cache to ensure there are no custom configs
  • link to upstream bug report, if any: N/A

Kernel version:

$ uname -a
Linux lethe 6.6.58-1-lts #1 SMP PREEMPT_DYNAMIC Wed, 23 Oct 2024 17:28:15 +0000 x86_64 GNU/Linux

VS Code version:

$ code --version
1.95.1
65edc4939843c90c34d61f4ce11704f09d3e5cb6
x64

I tested this with both 1.95.0-1 and 1.95.1-1, both behave the same. Downgrading to 1.94.2-1 solves the issue.

I also tested with code --disable-extensions --disable-gpu but it made no difference.

Steps to reproduce:

  1. Upgrade to code 1.95.0.
  2. Start.
  3. Click on the file menu.

Here's a video of me reproducing the problem:
