Files open in wrong window

See original GitHub issue

Using the File: Open command (<kbd>Ctrl</kbd>+<kbd>O</kbd>) to open a file from a restored (i.e. not maximized) window results in the file opening in another, pre-existing maximised window instead.

VS Code Version: 1.61.2
OS Version: Linux x64 3.10.0-1160.45.1.el7.x86_64

Commit: 6cba118ac49a1b88332f312a8f67186f7f3c1643
Date: 2021-10-19T14:58:13.605Z
Electron: 13.5.1
Chrome: 91.0.4472.164
Node.js: 14.16.0
V8: 9.1.269.39-electron.0

Steps to Reproduce:

Open a VSCode window and maximise it
Open another VSCode window and make sure it is not maximised
In the unmaximized window, do <kbd>Ctrl</kbd>+<kbd>O</kbd> (or use the File: Open command from the command pallette) and open a file
The file will instead open in the maximised window

Using RHEL 7 (GNOME). I am unable to test this with the Inisders build as it’s a work device. I cannot reproduce on Windows.

Does this issue occur when all extensions are disabled?: Yes

Yes I can still reproduce with 2 code windows created like that. I did File > Open from the un-maximised window while the maximised window was in the background, and the file ended up opening in the maximised window (which then came to the foreground). Same as before.
