Possibly a duplicate of #184124?

We don't support "enable-features" and "ozone-platform" in the runtime configure arguments, are you using a custom build of VSCode ? You would instead need to start with code --ozone-platform=wayland. Can you attach the crash report following the steps at https://github.com/microsoft/vscode/wiki/Native-Crash-Issues#creating-a-crash-report

Are you using a custom build of VSCode ?

What do you mean by

We don't support enable-features and ozone-platform

? Did you mean that we can't configure those option in argv.json ?

For me it work as expected 🤔 vscode don't use xwayland

Maybe they work because I have ~/.config/code-flags.conf with the following content 🤔

--enable-features=UseOzonePlatform
--ozone-platform=wayland

Those parameters are from https://wiki.hyprland.org/Getting-Started/Master-Tutorial/#force-apps-to-use-wayland

Following https://github.com/microsoft/vscode/wiki/Native-Crash-Issues#creating-a-crash-report

Without any other configuration other than running code with --crash-reporter-directory, I've the following dmp file inside the zip: vscode-crash-dump.zip

Did you mean that we can't configure those option in argv.json ?

Yes that is correct, the aur package possibly added support for reading those values from ~/.config/code-flags.conf which works in your case.

Thanks for the crash logs, the stack is similar to #184124, I will merge this issue.
