1619320 : VS Code issues on max-fs-display¶

Created: 2026-07-22T13:19:19Z - current status: new¶

Summary: When launching Visual Studio Code (version 1.117) on a shared display system ([DISPLAY_SYSTEM]) and signing into GitHub, a secondary VS Code window opens—running an outdated version (1.88). The issue appears linked to /usr/share/applications/code-url-handler.desktop, which points to /usr/share/code/code (the older installation).

Possible Solution: 1. Update or remove the legacy RPM package for VS Code 1.88 on the affected system. 2. Modify code-url-handler.desktop to point to the newer VS Code executable path (likely in /usr/bin/ or ~/.local/bin/). 3. Verify default application settings via xdg-mime to ensure URLs open with the correct VS Code version.
