Hi,

I have forwarded it to our nRF Connect for VS Code team.

We have not been able to reproduce it though, and from the logs it seems that the segfault is in Electron, which is far further down than the nRF Connect extensions. It could be that something the extension does trigger a VS Code or electron bug but we have not been able to pinpoint anything or see any reported VS Code issues that seem relevant.

I am seeing the same thing.

I am on macOS Monterey with a 2018 Macbook Pro.

I see it when I close VS Code as well, crashes all open programs.

Hi,

Thanks for reporting. I have not been able to reproduce this on my side, but I have forwarded the crash reports to the team. We do not have any explanation or suggested fix/workaroundat the moment, though.
