Crashes when pasting file name

[jrkessl]

Type: Bug

1. With an open file, go to File > Save As.
2. In the Save As window, copy the file name. Close the window without saving.
3. In another file, paste. Code freezes and has to be force-closed.

Bug does not happen when copying/pasting file contents. In other words, within the file editor.

Sorry for getting to your issue late.
I was able to reproduce the freezing issue on my CentOS 7 VM with Code 1.84.2.

[rzhao271]

I got a dump file because of how reliably I can repro this issue
40fa1f2f-6f4f-49db-b894-71f71c05243e.dmp
I'll symbolicate it in a bit and see if it gives more information about this crash.

The dump doesn't seem relevant

The verbose output contains some more information but I notice the last line says that the clipboard paste action has 6 bound.

After squandering time and brain cells on this bug through multiple versions of VS Code, including Insiders 1.89.0 with zero extensions installed, I'm able to get it to come and go reliably by toggling Files > Simple Dialog. Just to confirm, I see exactly what @jrkessl reported. It doesn't matter if I paste, or paste as text, or if xclip is installed, etc. On 1.88.1, I made sure Ctrl-Shift-V was only bound to paste as text, but when VS Code hangs, the status bar says "running paste handlers".

Here's the setting that's working for me:

Please let me know if you'd like more info. I'm running Ubuntu 22.04.4/6.5.0-27-generic, CPU only.
