VS Code in Linux freezes when copying file name from file dialog and pasting it into the editor

[jrkessl]

Type: Bug

1. With an open file, go to File > Save As.
2. In the Save As window, copy the file name. Close the window without saving.
3. In another file, paste. Code freezes and has to be force-closed.

Bug does not happen when copying/pasting file contents. In other words, within the file editor.

Sorry for getting to your issue late.
I was able to reproduce the freezing issue on my CentOS 7 VM with Code 1.84.2.

[rzhao271]

I got a dump file because of how reliably I can repro this issue
40fa1f2f-6f4f-49db-b894-71f71c05243e.dmp
I'll symbolicate it in a bit and see if it gives more information about this crash.

[rzhao271]

The dump doesn't seem relevant
Symbolicated: symbolicated-40.log

The verbose output contains some more information but I notice the last line says that the clipboard paste action has 6 bound.
