Cannot set locale in terminal

Did you try to set the locale or do anything that could have caused this? If you tried to set the locale, that's not supported at this time as you can see here.

If not, you can set "terminal.integrated.detectLocale": "off"

The problem is at electron level: #110322 and electron/electron#26443

Downgrading Electron sorts it until an update for it is available

I also have this issue running any command, look at the terminal, it just breaks:

I am using en_GB.UTF-8

Other Linux terminal emulators behave normally. But if I launch a terminal emulator from the terminal emulator of VSCode:

This started happening after I upgraded electron9 without upgrading code. I received code version 1.51.1 (ArchLinux) and I still have the same problem. I also saw this problem on reddit a couple of days ago...

Also, running the locale command gives error on VSCode:

But it works fine on a regular Linux terminal.

why is the locale "en-US" when it should be "en_US"

Merging to #110322

For anyone having this issue on Arch Linux, downgrade package electron9 from 9.3.4 to 9.3.3.

curl -O https://archive.archlinux.org/packages/e/electron9/electron9-9.3.3-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.zst
sudo pacman -U electron9-9.3.3-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.zst
You'll probably want to add electron9* to IgnorePkg in /etc/pacman.conf, so the next time you update your packages you won't accidentally update this one as well. When a fix has been deployed you can remove this setting...

Electron 9.3.5-1 is available for Arch.
pacman -Sy electron9 should do the trick

manjaro does not have this this version yet, what can i do in the interim?
