VSCode crashin on ctrl + . (Linux Ubuntu 22.04)

[ErsiHoxholli]

Pressing Ctrl + . causes immediate crash of the VS Code desktop app.

This happens consistently across:

• Stable build (code)
• Insiders build (code-insiders)
• Even when launched with all flags to disable GPU, extensions, sandboxing:

code --disable-extensions --disable-gpu --no-sandbox --disable-dev-shm-usage

Steps to Reproduce

• Launch VS Code
• Open any file (or no file)
• Press Ctrl + .
• App immediately closes without a crash dialog

What I Tried

• Deleted all config/cache:
  rm -rf ~/.config/Code ~/.vscode ~/.cache/Code ~/.local/share/Code
• Reinstalled both Stable and Insiders
• Disabled all extensions and GPU features
• Used keybinding overrides to unbind Ctrl + .
• Tried xmodmap to remap the key
• No GNOME global shortcut is conflicting
• Tried both X11 and Wayland sessions

What Works

• https://vscode.dev (Web version) works perfectly — no crash
• All other keys work normally
• Other Electron apps (like Discord) are stable

Conclusion

• This seems to be a low-level Electron bug specific to Ctrl + . on some Linux/X11 setups.
• Could be related to:
• Input Method Editor (IME)
• Chromium accessibility APIs
• GPU input handling

Please let me know if a crash log or trace is needed. I can provide verbose logs (--verbose) or run Electron in debug mode.
