[MrSparc]

Issue Type: Bug

1. After an update the "Release Notes: 1.42.0" is opened

Thanks for submitting this issue. Please also check if it is already covered by an existing one, like:

• When the Release Notes is open, double actions are performed on Keyboard Shortcuts (#84898)

Probably a duplicate of #82670

I can't reproduce. Are you opening the command pallet or the file picker? It's not clear to me what you mean by "open the Command Palette keeping the Ctrl pressed for a few seconds, showing the list of recently open files".

[MrSparc]

Because a picture is worth a thousand words:
With Release Notes open and do Ctrl+P:

Without Release Notes open and do Ctrl+P:

Note that when the release notes are open and I press the shortcut "Ctrl + P" it opens the list of the most recent files, but just I release the keys it automatically opened the most recent file selected, not giving me chances of being able type in the name of the file I want to open.

In the second case, this does not happen.
What I noticed is that usually in the list of the most recent, the name of the file that is open in the tab always appears in the first position and selected, however when the problem occurs the "Release Notes" file does not appear in the first position selected.

@MrSparc thanks, I can reproduce now. Seems to only happen on Linux.

If it only reproduces in release notes, I suspect a webview issue with keybindings which #82670 is similar.

[IanMatthewHuff]

Just as a +1 on this. For the Python extension we use a number of webviews. If any of our webviews are opened Ctrl+* commands get doubled. Had a few reports on this already:
https://github.com/microsoft/vscode-python/issues/10147
https://github.com/microsoft/vscode-python/issues/10267

I was investigating our code when I realized that I could repro it not just with our stuff, but with the coding cat webview sample. So I checked and found this issue.

[gjsjohnmurray]

@IanMatthewHuff are you on Linux too?

@ALL I assume it's intentionally convenient that if I hold Ctrl down, then press and release P to open the list, each subsequent press-and-release of P moves the list selector down one position. Similarly, Shift+P moves up one position. And when I finally release the Ctrl key it opens whatever item is currently selected.

[IanMatthewHuff]

@gjsjohnmurray not normally, but when our customers reported this I checked it out on Linux. I only see this happen there, not on Mac or Windows.

Duplicate of #88284 I believe. I just checked in a fix but let me know if still see this in the next insiders build

[MrSparc]

I'm sorry, but this issue still happens in the release March 2020 (v1.44.2):

Update: Actually was fixed by #86790 with Milestone April 2020
