Looking at the callStack it seems like the textEditor.layout is being called before the TextEditor is created.
Centered editor layout is enabled in this case, however it seems to be just a middle man here.

Hello, @isidorn , when I can get the fixed version?

[isidorn]

We are still looking into a fix.
If you F1 > toggle centered layout do you still see this
Until we push a fix I suggest you use vscode insiders if you work is being blocked (sorry about that!)
https://code.visualstudio.com/insiders/

[isidorn]

@gzx-miller can you please include a screenshot of vscode when the error happens?

[sbatten]

is this 100% repro? @gzx-miller can you reproduce this issue in different workspaces?

The stack suggests the error is on window resize so I've tried the following variables:

1. Using and not using centered layout
2. Resizing the window and quickly opening and closing files
3. Adding editor groups to centered layout (which removes the centered layout as expected)
4. Reloading the window in various combinations

I was not able to repro yet.

It's 100% repro in any project, and I tried reinstall the latest version, and reboot win10 system, the problem didn't disappear. @sbatten
now, I'm using vscode inside well, thank you. @isidorn , but the inside version cann't open multiple editor.

[isidorn]

@gzx-miller please answer all questions posted by @sbatten here thanks!

Insiders can open multiple editors, what do you mean? Can you open another issue regarding this. Please note that insiders does not have all your extensions installed.

sbatten ask:
is this 100% repro? can you reproduce this issue in different workspaces?
my answer:
It's 100% repro in any project.
insider version can not open multiple editors. I won't open another issue, because I find another way to recover my environment: install an old version of vscode, and config forbid upgrade. @isidorn

[joaomoreno]

@gzx-miller Can you share a screenshot of Insiders as well?

Can you try running in a separate user data dir: code --user-data-dir NEW_FOLDER? Does it work then?
