Weston 12 rdp can't star visual studio code (electron)

I build weston 12.0.1 then I start weston with rdp backend

"$WESTON_PATH/bin/weston" --backend=rdp-backend.so --config="${SCRIPT_PATH}/weston.ini" --logger-scopes=log,rdp-backend --port=8081 --rdp-tls-key="${WESTON_KEY}/tls.key" --rdp-tls-cert="${WESTON_KEY}/tls.crt"

  • start visual studio code with wayland code-insiders --enable-features=UseOzonePlatform --ozone-platform=wayland --verbose
  • vscode starts, the process is running, but no windows is displayed
  • google-chrome with same arguments works in weston 12
  • wezterm, weston terminal and flower works in weston 12
  • the same vscode version with same arguments works in gnome ubuntu lunar wayland desktop
  • If I start weston with --xwayland and code with x11 backend it works code-insiders --enable-features=UseOzonePlatform --ozone-platform=x11 --verbose

Vscode prints a limited number of log lines Warning: 'enable-features' is not in the list of known options, but still passed to Electron/Chromium. Warning: 'ozone-platform' is not in the list of known options, but still passed to Electron/Chromium.
