Does this issue happen in VS Code or GitHub Codespaces?

• I cannot reproduce this in VS Code.
• I cannot reproduce this in GitHub Codespaces.

Are you accessing code-server over HTTPS?

• I am using HTTPS.

Notes

Found in Code v1

Maybe here

yeah we just send a message to the socket
so if it is opening in multiple windows it might be on the vs code side
so all windows share the socket
and they all get the same message

Investigation Notes

We wanted to determine if this was upstream in VS Code so we did the following:

1. yarn watch
2. open code-server
3. open terminal
4. open another code-server window
5. node lib/vscode/out/server-cli.js <any directory>

The same bug happens. This means the bug exists in the VS Code CLI.
