Public bug reported:
Just a few weeks ago, I noticed the .deb version of Visual Studio Code
crashing upon launch. I also noticed Element (matrix client) also would
crash. The only thing these applications have in common is electron. I
was hoping this would get noticed by someone and that the issue would be
figured out, but I guess that person had to be me.
Erroneously-filed bug 1943568 exhibits the same issues. Experimenting
with Visual Studio Code provided this:

When either application was provided "--no-sandbox" at the command line, they
would run normally. However, Element does not pass that via command line, so I
was unable to use the workaround for that.
Upon investigating the runtime dependencies for Element, Atom, and
VSCode, the one thing they had in common was libgtk-3-0, and the date of
2021-09-03 for publishing coincides with the time in which these errors
started to appear.
Another workaround, other than the "--no-sandbox" usage, is to use the
snap version of the apps if available, or flatpak. These provide their
own versions of these dependencies, which tells me these .deb-based
applications are affected by libgtk-3-0.
Granted, those applications are not in the Ubuntu repository, however,
many people (including myself) rely on those to function correctly. It
would be very bad if Electron apps failed to function when 21.10 is
released.
