Contributor guide
Research direction
Reproduce the problem in the VS Code Explorer by using Shift+Delete on a file, under elementary OS 8.x with an amd64 Classic X11 session. Start by tracing how Gala positions the confirmation modal relative to its parent window; done means the dialog appears on top of the respective VS Code window rather than in the top-left corner.
