Reveal in explorer opens explorer twice

[janhaertel]

When I right-click a file in the sidebar explorer and click "reveal in explorer", the file's folder is opened in the windows explorer. Sometimes after several seconds, the explorer opens the folder again.
This doesn't always happen but every once in a while. Is there maybe a way to log what vscode is doing here ?

Can you reproduce with vscode insiders https://code.visualstudio.com/insiders/
If yes
F1 > developer tools > sources > put a breakpoint here
And figure out what is going on since I can not reproduce

Ok I installed vscode insiders and am sometimes able to reproduce the error. I noticed now that when it happens, the context menu freezes after I right-click and select "reveal in explorer". The second time the explorer opens is after the frozen contextmenu disappears, after some seconds.

I'm still trying to go to the sources but when I do F1 > developer tools I don't get a third option "sources".

Sources is a tab under the developer tools window

Ah ok thank you.

Ok well I think it probably has something to do with my qttabbar explorer plugin I am running. When I already have a tab open in qttabbar and then click reveal file, the folder will be opened immediately and vscode freezes. The focus is now in my explorer. If I refocus vscode it will unfreeze after several seconds and open the explorer again.

Since this is most likely an error with qttabbar itself I'll try to investigate this myself. Should I close this issue for now and maybe post fixes for dealing with qttab later in case I find one ?

I don't have qttabbar and I get the exact same problem: when I click reveal in explorer, the explorer window opens immediately and VS Code freeze for 30 seconds and then the explorer window open again.
