Does anyone else have their panel die when VSCode is minimised (or maximised)?
Here's the error I see in the log:
Mar 07 18:19:07 host kernel: traps: mate-panel[70461] general protection fault ip:7986d959d50d sp:7ffe8a297680 error:0 in libgobject-2.0.so.0.8000.0[7986d956f000+37000]
It was happening before from time to time; now it happens every time. There's something in VSCode that's tripping up the panel, and even more so with their latest update. I have the global menu applet on my panel (i.e. vala-panel-appmenu); my early guess was that there's a problem with the two.
Switching to the native title bar has stopped it from crashing every time; I'll wait and see if it 'intermittently' crashes as before. Hopefully it's stable.
It still crashes from time-to-time. There must be a bug or incompatibility between VSCode and mate-applet-appmenu; as I'm seeing the following error in dmesg:
[ 2464.279780] mate-panel[10860]: segfault at ... error 4 in libappmenu-mate.so ...
Not much to go on; will file a bug with vala-applet-appmenu.
