I have the similar problem of flickering text (more like disappearing text after I upgrade to Code 1.69.1). Attached is the image below showing the problem
Image may be NSFW.
Clik here to view.
The flickering problem is dynamic ie various parts of text will show at some point then disappear after some time... there is no one point of time where all the text appear in the console
ResolutionI have tried to solve it by keying at the terminal: code --enable-native-gpu-memory-buffers and by code --disable-gpu but it does not solve the display problem.
The VS code is installed at a Ubuntu18.04 VM. I have checked with another similar VM (same configuration and settings), the same problem occurs.
- However when I check with the VS Code running on the host machine OS(running windows 10), it seem there is no such problem.
- I begin to suspect whether it is some linux files(the problem occurs after I run sudo apt-get update & upgrade, which also upgrade the code) that is affecting the VSCode. So for experimentation, I went ahead to try to upgrade the VSCode on another machine running the same VM (with the exception that I running a newer VMware player (v16 as opposed to v15) with it). There was no such problem. It works perfectly fine.
InformationI have tried to run code --status. Here is my findings

Need some help or suggestion here
Thanks
