Launching from CLI to remote-ssh to a folder/file causes to keep opening many windows without actually opening the desired folder/file

[rithviknishad]

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

• VS Code Version: 1.61.1
• OS Version: Ubuntu 21.10

Steps to Reproduce:

1. Launch code by running:

code --file-uri "vscode-remote://ssh-remote+<host-as-in-ssh-config>/<absolute-path-to-a-folder-in-remote>"

Expected behaviour:

• Prompt for a password of the machine.
• Open the remote folder/file.

Actual behaviour:

• Prompts for password.
• Keeps opening new windows indefinitely without actually opening the desired file/folder.

Found the fault. I was using the arguments incorrectly.

• --folder-uri is to be used to open a folder
• --file-uri is to be used to open a file

code 1.61.2 on Windows 11 shows the error by notifying that the specified file was a folder and not a file.

However code 1.61.1 on Ubuntu 21.10 didn't show the error and instead got stuck in the loop as described earlier.
