Description
Type: Bug
Hi,
Vscode was running fine without any issue but has started crashing now after 1-2 frequently. I open the app in my workspace, do nothing and still it crashes. Also, it is creating a process called "rg" which is consuming 50% of the cpu. When I ran in verbose I got the following error:
[15156:0529/130833.060608:INFO:CONSOLE:414] "%cDEBUG background: #eee; color: #888 [perf] SLOW task detected (8369ms) but renderer profiling is disabled via 'application.experimental.rendererProfiling'", source: vscode-file://vscode-app/usr/share/code/resources/app/out/vs/workbench/workbench.desktop.main.js (414)
