DevTools close when opened while stuff is loading

[jrieken]

• run scripts/code.sh
• reload the window
• while that happens press cmd+alt+i to open dev tools
• wait a little and see how dev tools are closed again

this happens because of https://github.com/Microsoft/vscode/blob/362e69ad832813977a97de2ebc89c301fe9f185d/src/vs/platform/menubar/electron-main/menubar.ts#L701-L709

it seems like that IPC message is stuck for a long time and only handled late. that's something we should maybe tackle but for this specific case we should know that the command already happened

@jrieken does this still happen? I pushed a change to trigger actions earlier (e.g. not waiting for workbench to have opened all editors). Refs: #63905

[jrieken]

Yes - still happens

I see why I am not seeing it because I have F12 assigned as keybinding and that one is not taken by the bootstrap-window.js already. For me the devtools only open when the workbench has started and for you they open right from the beginning but also they close again due to the second delayed invocation...
