Created attachment 127251 [details] Screenshot of my setup. KDE dock at top, Latte on left SUMMARY Latte 0.7.4 with VSCode 1.43.2 STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Latte Dock running on left side, 1 KDE panel at top hosting system tray and clock, 4 virtual desktops. 2. open VSCode, 3. Switching virtual desktops seems to initiate this behavior, as well as starting additional applications, like Calc 4. The animations of Latte and response become slowed by at least 2 seconds, sometimes even longer. 5. After closing VSCode, Latte immediately begins acting as expected without delays. OBSERVED RESULT Latte does not respond for several seconds after #3, CPU heats up and fans come on. EXPECTED RESULT No delays in animations or response.

Latte v0.7.x is not supported any more, please try at least v0.9.x to check out that still occurs.
Ugh, yes, I see that I'm behind on versions now! The latest I have available to me in my current state is 0.7.4... but I had previously overlooked the kubuntu backports which looks to get me 0.8.9. The only thing is that backports looks to be a fairly large update for KDE, so I'll review and let you know my result.

Neither v0.8.x is supported only v0.9.x and greater
I see. Okay, so do you have a recommended way to get to 0.9.x? I see the Rik Mills - ppa, but it says "Testing" at the top. Should I not worry about using that PPA?
I realize you said 0.8.9 is not supported. But for full disclosure, the issue remains in 0.8.9. I'll try the Rick Mills ppa later and see if it's resolved in 0.9.x
Okay, I've upgraded to 0.9.85 using the "Rick Mills" repo, but I'm still similar behavior. Although, now it seems that the freezing and unresponsiveness is a little less, it's still there. Again, this is ONLY when VSCode is open. Once I close VSCode, the issue is IMMEDIATELY resolved. And to repeat, I only see this behavior in Latte. KDE docks and other programs are not effected.
1, Please send your latte layout file 2. In my system with VSCode 1.43.1 does not occur 2.1 I just open VSCode, I do not open any projects and no issue is appearing What probably happens is at some point VSCode starts sending too many X11 signals with no reason. I need to reproduce this in order to check out if this Latte or VSCode responsibility to fix.
Created attachment 127273 [details] Current Layout file
I've attached my layout file... Based on what you've said, it sounds like I should delete and re-create my docks... Is there an upgrade path I should make sure to follow in circumstances like this? For example, on doing a major upgrade and there are problems, will exporting, deleting, and then re-importing a configuration remove any invalid configurations?
Created attachment 127274 [details] No edit panel for Dock/Panel LOL, also, FYI... upgrading to 0.7 to 0.8 was smooth and everything worked after the upgrade. However, when upgrading from 0.8 to 0.9 I've lost the window to edit Dock/Panel settings.
I cant remember from v0.8 to v0.9 any special upgrade issues... If your edit Panel window is not appearing then your v0.9.x installation is not valid.
please contact your distro support and packagers to help you out how to install properly Latte v0.9.x
I'm thinking I'll be doing an uninstall with purge, and then reinstall... To make sure I start with a clean slate, can you verify for me where the configuration files are located?
for v0.9.x in ~/.config directory, for earlier versions I dont remember. ~/.config/lattedockrc <global configuration file> ~/.config/latte <directory containing all your layouts>
Sorry to report that the issue is still present. I did the remove with purge, removed all configuration files I could find, but still same issue with VSCode. I'm now on 0.9.85 from the "Rik Mills" ppa which is the documented package on github (https://launchpad.net/~rikmills/+archive/ubuntu/latte-dock). Apparently this ppa is built from source daily. (I also still do not have the "Edit Dock" window) If there is a different way to get the proper release package, I'm not yet seeing it.

You have to contact the packager and get information for its requirements.
Sorry for taking this off topic... So back to the matter at hand. All versions of Latte seen to be affected by this VSCode issue, including the latest. My next test will be to try purging VSCode and see if there is some odd setting on that side.
Hello again! I opened a ticket over at the github vscode issue tracker... looks like this is very likely on the vscode side. So just wanted to give you an update, and a reference to the related vscode bug. https://github.com/microsoft/vscode/issues/94651#issuecomment-610743106
