Visual Studio Code Display Issue

After upgrading my system from 15.4 to 15.5, I seem to have some issues with Visual Studio Code. The window details are not fully rendered.

I have no idea how to address this because it was working under 15.4 just fine. As a note, I am also having some “blinking” issues with Chrome as well so wondering if they are interconnected.

Thank,

Tim

Delete the cache, and restart it.

I don’t recall where the rpm puts it, but if you’re using the flatpak, just do rm -r ~/.var/app/com.visualstudio.code/cache

No luck. I purged ~/.config/Code/Cache/Cache_Data directory.

Its not the application cache that’s the issue, it’s the Mesa shader cache. I’m not sure where the RPM puts it, I believe the folder will be called GPUCache or something similar.

Woot!!! That did the trick. I cleared out the ~/.config/Code/GPUCache/ folder. As I am trying to learn more about the Linux ecosystem, how in the heck did you know to go there if you don’t mind me asking?

Its been a repeated problem, particularly for Electron based apps, such as VS Code. If you search the forums, or even the web, you’ll probably find hits on it.

Best part is that this also led me down the path to fix my Chrome issues. I had to empty ~/.config/google-chrome/Profile 1/GPUCache/ directory.

Thanks A Million!!!

So happy to stumble across this thread! I had the same issue with VS Codium (on Tumbleweed/GNOME) and ended up deleting it and installing VS Code to get back up and working. Next time I’ll try this.
