VSCode Version:

1.50.1
d2e414d9e4239a252d1ab117bd7067f125afd80a
x64

OS Version: NixOS 21.03pre249162.1dc37370c48 (Okapi)

Steps to Reproduce:

Modify a file owned by root
Try saving the file
Click on Retry as Sudo...
Error pops up: Failed to save '...': Unable to find pkexec or kdesudo.

Does this issue occur when all extensions are disabled?: Yes

The very strange thing is that I can use pkexec code --file-write /path/to/source /path/to/target and it works fine.
