I have used code successfully during last year. But now after code upgrade or maybe due Fedora Linux upgrade, the drawing of the code is not OK anymore. Fedora Linux is totally uptodate

Maybe related to https://code.visualstudio.com/updates/v1_82#_update-highlights-for-chromium which includes advice about deleting GPU cache.

Thank You Very Very Much, Sir!
That was quick by you!

I wonder a little bit why deletion of GPUCache is called as a workaround, because it was just a cache and thus replaceable. And I guess, that from now on code works as well as usually ?

"the current workaround is to delete the GPU cache located at ~/.config/Code/GPUCache."

[gjsjohnmurray]

I think deletion is a one-time requirement on affected systems, but @deepak1556 can probably confirm.

Yes deleting the gpu cache is a one time step due to bug in the runtime, the release notes has relevant details to the upstream bug.
