@bpasero I had the same problem.

Looking into the code.desktop file I notice this:

[Desktop Entry]
Name=Visual Studio Code
Comment=Code Editing. Redefined.
GenericName=Text Editor
Exec=/usr/share/code/code --unity-launch %F
Icon=code
Type=Application
StartupNotify=true
StartupWMClass=Code
Categories=Utility;TextEditor;Development;IDE;
MimeType=text/plain;inode/directory;
Actions=new-window;
Keywords=vscode;

X-Desktop-File-Install-Version=0.23

[Desktop Action new-window]
Name=New Window
Name[de]=Neues Fenster
Name[es]=Nueva ventana
Name[fr]=Nouvelle fenêtre
Name[it]=Nuova finestra
Name[ja]=新規ウインドウ
Name[ko]=새 창
Name[pt_BR]=Nova Janela
Name[ru]=Новое окно
Name[zh_CN]=新建窗口
Name[zh_TW]=開新視窗
Exec=/usr/share/code/code --new-window %F
Icon=code

The action 'new-window' is beeing triggered every time I click on the dock icon, when it supposed to behave like that only when the action is clicked. I figure if I remove the '--new-window' attribute from the Exec it will restore the workspace normally.

Maybe is a gnome dock issue or just an error on the desktop file syntax.

Hope I helped!

Workspace doesn't restores itself on re-opening Code in Ubuntu 17.10 GNOME #36695
