Visual Studio Code frequently opens without window buttons

Type: Bug

Visual Studio Code has recently frequently been opening without the stoplight buttons in the toolbar. The window is also not responsive to the Close Window hotkey. This means that there is no way to close the window. The only way to close the window is to use Force Quit, but even that does not work very effectively.

VS Code version: Code 1.73.1 (Universal) (6261075646f055b99068d3688932416f2346dd3b, 2022-11-09T02:08:38.961Z) OS version: Darwin arm64 22.1.0 Modes: Sandboxed: No

Ah I do see "window.restoreFullscreen": true,. I have set it to false and will report if I still see the issue. It would be nice to have this supported though.

I would like to confirm your window related settings, you can share the settings.json output in this thread.
