When I create a new file in vscode and then hit ctrl+s to save the untitled file, instead of opening the file explorer window directly, it instead sends a system notification that says...

"Visual Studio Code: "Save As" is ready".

I then have to grab my mouse and click the notification to focus the file explorer.

How can I fix/disable this behaviour?

    Same behavior for me on 22.04 Jammy with VSCode 1.69.2. – Sammy Black Jul 21 '22 at 19:21

    Similar behavior using latest/stable snap versions of VSCode on 22.04: The system notification triggers as you describe, but the "Save As ..." dialog also opens behind the current VSC Workspace window. The "Save As ..." dialog sometimes opens on another Ubuntu Workspace.

    default snap source offers no alternate channels to latest/stable for VSCode. if the electron issue from Feb '22 @steinmn notes is resolved soon, I'll revisit moving back to non-snap versions.

Apparently a known (and unfortunately currently unresolved) bug in the electron version vscode has upgraded to, see https://github.com/electron/electron/issues/32857 and/or https://github.com/microsoft/vscode/issues/146422

Before Electron fixes the underlying issue that @steinmn references, you can work around it by installing GrandTheftFocus
