My VSCode version is now "1.122.1" (and Cline is now "3.86.0"), but the situation remains unchanged...

Several workarounds have been suggested for this problem.

yes it is related to 1.121.0 upgrade. Same here.
I downgrade to VSCode 1.120.0 with https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/supporting/faq#_previous-release-versions

I have the same issue here, I'm using Ubuntu 22.04 and VS Code 1.122.

The fix
$ apt list -a code | grep -w '1\.121\.0'
code/stable 1.121.0-1779186519 amd64
code/stable 1.121.0-1779186523 arm64
code/stable 1.121.0-1779186507 armhf

# Downgrade to the previous good version (Choose your arch, mine is AMD64)
sudo apt install code=1.121.0-1779186519

# Prevent automatic upgrades
sudo apt-mark hold code

# Allow automatic upgrades (If future VS Code version fixes this bug)
sudo apt-mark unhold code

I would really appreciate it if the VS Code and Cline contributors could collaborate to make improvements. 🙏

The same problem for me and for many Cline users.
The last WORKING VSCode version:

Version: 1.121.0 (user setup)
Commit: f6cfa2e
Date: 2026-05-19T11:51:53+02:00
Electron: 39.8.8
ElectronBuildId: 13870025
Chromium: 142.0.7444.265
Node.js: 22.22.1
V8: 14.2.231.22-electron.0
OS: Windows_NT x64 10.0.26200

Cline version:
Identifier saoudrizwan.claude-dev
Version 3.86.0

Steps to reproduce, VSCode version must be newer than 1.121.0 :

• Added a folder on the desktop as a workspace in VS Code.
• Performed @[Add Context] - [Add File] in Cline.
• Received No results found in Cline -> Cline unable to find any files in workspace.
