Description

OS: Debian Sid
proxychains version: 4.14
VSCode version: 1.49.1

A few days ago I did a system-wide package upgrading and since then Joplin (a note application, with no proxy support) could not open VSCode as external editor. Then I tried run VSCode with proxychains directly and it failed to launch.

On another machine running Ubuntu 20.04, VSCode 1.47 worked fine with proxychains 4.14, but after upgrading to 1.49 it could not launch any more.

Update: I've downgraded to VSCode 1.48.2 and it works fine on both machines.

Research direction

Start by reproducing the launch failure with proxychains 4.14 and VSCode 1.49.1 on Debian Sid or Ubuntu 20.04, then compare it with the reported-working VSCode 1.48.2. Done means identifying and fixing the compatibility regression so VSCode launches through proxychains again.
