code --no-sandbox --user-data-dir=~ opens to blank window as root

Type: Bug

1. log in as root
2. apt -y reinstall ./code_1.79.1-1686587647_amd64.deb
3. code --no-sandbox --user-data-dir=~

VSCode opens a window frame with only a menu and blank workspace, no status bar, no side bar. None of the menu items work when clicked. The UI is fully broken.
