[jcmoneymx]

you can see that i have more extensions 'invisible' where the cursor is

[thiagomucci]

Given your setup, this could be related to GPU acceleration or the compositor.

Could you try the following to narrow it down:

• run with --disable-gpu
• toggle hardware acceleration (Disable GPU Acceleration in settings if available)
• check if it happens outside of Remote SSH (locally)

This might help confirm if it's a rendering/compositor issue introduced in the latest update.

@thiagomucci

1. --disable-gpu does not work
2. I met this issue when I use Remote SSH. Refer the following figure

3. local mode is OK

[thiagomucci]

Does this issue happen on X11 or Wayland on the remote environment?

If it's Wayland, it might be worth trying to force X11 (e.g., with --ozone-platform=x11), since Electron apps can sometimes have rendering issues depending on the display backend.
If that makes a difference, it would point to a Wayland-specific rendering issue

[jcmoneymx]

i can confirm it only happens on Remote SSH.
it does not happen running locally

[thiagomucci]

Could you try disabling all extensions (--disable-extensions) and reloading the window to see if the issue still happens?

Also, if possible, it would help to know whether this started after a specific update, as well as your VS Code version and Remote SSH extension version that could help narrow down a possible regression.

/duplicate

This is a known issue in 1.123 affecting Remote SSH. It is fixed in 1.124 due for general release next week and already available in Insiders.
