I think this is the solution for your problem
Can't open a new tab or new file on scratch
To fix this issue:
Make sure you don't have any unsaved files in Scratch when run as root (with the sudo command). This fix will delete those files.
Open Terminal and use root permissions to remove the directory.
sudo rm -rf ~/.local/share/scratch-text-editorOpen Scratch as your own user (do not use the sudo command)
Scratch is the old name of Code
With Code the command should be: sudo rm -rf ~/.local/share/io.elementary.code

1Scratch is the old name of Code (Sorry I asumed you knew), the current command is
io.elementary.code. Why you need it? Commented Nov 17, 2018 at 7:07 -

I had the same issue several times both on Juno and Hera. And usually it worked fine after a fresh install. But I just came to see that sometimes even after a fresh install, it doesn't open. So here is the solution:
Open Terminal
sudo su
cd /home/user/.local/share/io.elementary.code/
(here the "user" is your username on eOS).
chmod 777 unsaved/
