Description

Almost always after building using the command cargo build VS Code crashes and needs to restart the whole editor (see image).

I have the newest versions of the analyzer and rustc installed, but it already happened months ago.

rustc 1.84.0 (9fc6b4312 2025-01-07)
rust-analyzer version: 0.3.2273-standalone (248bd511ae 2025-01-18)

Any idea how to further investigate this problem?

Research direction

Start by reproducing the crash in VS Code after running cargo build with the reported rustc 1.84.0 and rust-analyzer 0.3.2273 versions. Check whether it still occurs with current versions and collect the relevant VS Code or rust-analyzer diagnostics; done means there is a reproducible case or actionable crash evidence.
