Close, minimize and maximize buttons missing on Arch Linux

[D3vil0p3r]

Does this issue occur when all extensions are disabled?: Yes/No

• VS Code Version: 1.73.0
• OS Version: Arch Linux (Linux x64 6.0.2-arch1-1)
  

I read several issues related the missing of close, maximize and minimize buttons occurring in Windows and macOS. I'm noting the same issue is happening also on Arch Linux.

Here, I have a full upgraded Arch Linux environment and when I open Code, I don't get these buttons:

This issue should be related to Electron19 because, when I downgrade electron19 package from 19.1.4 to 19.0.13, I get the three buttons:

Steps to Reproduce:

1. On a full upgraded Arch Linux environment, install code by sudo pacman -Syy code
2. Open the software by code
3. When Code is opening, the three buttons on the top-right are missing
4. Try now to downgrade electron19 package to 19.0.13 by using sudo downgrade electron19 and choosing the 19.0.13 version
5. Reopen Code and the three buttons should appear

Can confirm. How can you even invent such bugs I don't know.

I'm having the same problem on Manjaro (which is based on Arch)

Apparently this happens on Linux, MacOS as well as Windows, as there are similar issues for MacOS and Windows.

The Windows issue also shows people using Electron 19.1 getting this problem, so it seems like the problem was introduced when moving from Electron 19.0.13 to 19.1.x. #165337 (comment) mentions setting "window.experimental.windowControlsOverlay.enabled": true as a fix, but that doesn't work for me.

Notably, the Windows issue has been closed with #165384, but I don't know if that also fixes it for Linux & MacOS and when that will be released in a stable version.

@sbatten Thanks for the PR, would you mind updating us on whether that also fixes the issue on Linux & MacOS? If so, when can we expect it to be released in a stable version?

Can anyone in this thread verify that the issue still remains on the latest insiders on arch(-based) linux?

Just tested it with the build from today on Manjaro and indeed the issue seems to be fixed.

@major-mayer thank you very much for the confirmation. This fix will make its way to the next stable release.

I confirm too on Athena OS (Arch-based) the latest insiders version is working correctly:
