### Description

CachyOS package code crashes with SIGSEGV when clicking either:

Source Control → Commit
Help → About
This reproduces on my main CachyOS system and also in a clean CachyOS VM with a clean Code config.

Package/version info:

code 1.124.2-1
Executable: /usr/lib/electron42/electron
Command Line: /usr/lib/electron42/electron /usr/lib/code/code.mjs
Signal: 11 (SEGV)

code --version:

1.124.2
6928394f91b684055b873eecb8bc281365131f1c
x64

The crash also occurred with extensions disabled and with the same package installed in a clean CachyOS VM.

Useful commands/output:

❯ pacman -Q code electron42
which code
pacman -Qo /usr/bin/code
coredumpctl list | grep -iE ‘code|electron’ | tail -10
coredumpctl info
code 1.124.2-1
electron42 42.3.0-1

### Steps to Reproduce

1. launch code
2. open menu item Help->About, or click Commit button to commit a change

### Expected Behavior

Those things don't crash code

### Actual Behavior

CachyOS package code crashes with SIGSEGV when clicking either:

Source Control → Commit
Help → About
This reproduces on my main CachyOS system and also in a clean CachyOS VM with a clean Code config.

### Logs / Error Messages

see main description

### Additional Context

Happens every time. Never used to happen, must be a bug in fairly recent code update.

Start by reproducing the crash through Help → About and Source Control → Commit using the listed code and electron42 package versions. Inspect the resulting coredump with coredumpctl info and compare behavior in the clean CachyOS VM; done means both actions complete without a SIGSEGV.
