Unable to interact with Code windows on Mac Os after window maximization

[adalisan]

Does this issue occur when all extensions are disabled?: Yes

I have an intermittent issue that I only see in VS code on Mac, although it may be partially due to electron bugs (I ruled out an open-source window management utility called Rectangle that I am also using)
I am using multiple displays and using Rectangle to move application windows between or minimize or maximize.
I haven't fully isolated the exact trigger, but at some point if I try to maximize one of the VS code windows.VS code windows become unresponsive. I can change the window focus by clicking on the windows and I can open new windows from the dock, but the menu bar and the application is unresponsive. I have to force quit VS Code and things return to normal

I also can't updated to newer versions of VS code 1.85, since the remote SSH extensions in the later versions have an incompatibility with the remote machines I connect to.

You should be able to use our legacy server mode which is supported till February 2025

1.85 is quite old and we have had quite a few runtime updates as well as other fixes. So we cannot debug this issue on an older version. Please update here if the issue repros with latest stable.

I have observed the same behavior in linux with version 1.96.0.

As soon as I maximized the window, it became completely unresponsive. It remains that way until I restore it to a smaller size.

I've observed this multiple times, but it doesn't happen every single time. Once it starts happening, it is stubborn and keeps happening every time I maximize the window. Several hours later though, I may not have the problem.

I have also noticed some related issues occasionally where the window becomes unresponsive after bringing focus to the window, or after resizing the window, but this only lasts for a few seconds before it becomes responsive again.

All of this started very recently for me, within the last few days.
