VS Code characters and icons fading out on Windows 11

[JefDfelipe]

Issue Type: Bug

I looked up this issue, and it seems that an update from 2018 had fixed that issue on Windows 10, but I'm having this issue right now on VS Code. Even this bug report window started to fade out as I'm typing this.
The fading does stop when I hover over the files and/or tabs.
Only VSC is doing this, so I don't think it's related to the GPU.

VS Code version: Code 1.67.2 (c3511e6, 2022-05-17T18:15:52.058Z)
OS version: Windows_NT x64 10.0.22000
Restricted Mode: No

First screenshot:

In this one, even the bug report window was fading:

Does the issue happen with latest insiders https://code.visualstudio.com/insiders ? If so, can you try disabling hardware acceleration https://code.visualstudio.com/updates/v1_40#_disable-gpu-acceleration

Sorry for the late reply. I guess this got fixed in later updates because it did not happen again.
