  • VSCode Version: 1.49.1 58bb7b2 - x64
  • OS Version: Debian, GNU/Linux 5.7.17; Cinnamon 4.6.6 / X11

Steps to Reproduce:

  1. Navigate to workspace 1: Launch VS code (everything works as expected).
  2. Navigate to workspace 2: Launch VS code code --new-window
    • It now appears as if the first Window launched in step (1) temporarily steals focus.
    • This cause the window-manager to jump to workspace 1, where the new VS code window appears.

In effect, having multiple VS code windows running on different virtual workspaces (or virtual desktops, if you will), requires you to launch the new window, and then move it manually.

This is a regression in 1.49.1 (or 1.49.0).

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