Does anyone know, is it a bug or something wrong with my VS Code installation that causes two entries for **New File** in VS Code File drop-down menu?

Not a bug. They do different things.

Yes, most of the options in all of the drop-down menus do different things, and that’s why they have different names. So why do these two options that do different things have the same names?

You asked if it was a bug or something wrong with your installation. The answer is no.
I cannot speak to why they have those labels. I would say the “…” implies different enough behavior, so I would not consider them as having the same name. But the VS Code devs & maintainers would be the better people to ask about that.
FWIW I always use Ctrl+N to make a new file, which I guess corresponds to the first option.

Interesting interpretation! I read the “…” to mean “This option is still under construction.” I was wondering if perhaps it was a temporary placeholder name that somehow got shipped out by accident. I certainly can’t imagine anyone would _intentionally_ give two options the same name.

Well, New File… displays a dialog before creating a new file where you can select for example Jupyter Notebooks as file type.
The entry New File just creates a new file…
Three dots for a menu entry that displays a Dialog is quite standard…

Not sure if you’re joking, but you just said `New File` creates a `new file...` 😁

Seems like this is going to be better disambiguated in 1.67:
