Description

  • VS Code Version: 1.53.2

The initial position of the VSCode is shifted down with every start of application when the native titlebar is on. Please, watch this video.

Steps to Reproduce:

  1. Launch VSCode and move its window to the required position
  2. In the settings, select the native view for the window titlebar (Window > Title Bar Style > native)
  3. Close VSCode
  4. Launch VSCode again

Does this issue occur when all extensions are disabled?: Yes
