Why
IDE2 currently converts larger files to uint8arrays. When a file is then pushed to the cloud it needs to be conferted back to a string.
This process fails miserably, as we are trying to use
new TextDecoder().decode(content)
which is broken in the electron version used by theia (electron/electron#18733)How
Replace
new TextDecoder().decode(content)
withnew util.TextDecoder().decode(content)
