Steps to Reproduce:

1. Open VS Code.
2. Create a new file.
3. Write some code in the file.
4. Right-click on the code and select "Copilot -> Start Code Chat."
5. The floating Code Chat window appears.
6. Attempt to initiate a chat with the message "Porting to Python."
7. Close the Code Chat window.
8. Create a new file.
9. Notice that the Code Chat window persists, allowing text input but preventing execution or closure (Escape key doesn't work).
10. If a new file is created, the same issue occurs.
11. To resolve this issue, reopen VS Code.

I hit this same problem. Here's what it looks like:

The overlay never goes away.

Hi,

Thanks for filing this issue!

Could you update to latest VS Code 1.82 and see if you can reproduce?

@rchiodo Are you also using Version: 1.81.1

[rchiodo]

I'm using 1.83:

@tuduongquyet @rchiodo We cannot diagnose issues from screen capture. For that we have log files and the dev tool console output (F1 > Show Logs > Window and F1 > Toggle Developer Tools > Console). Please attach the readings of those

[rchiodo]

I can't figure out how to save console logs anymore. Right clicking doesn't seem to work. Here's a screenshot of the log:

Repro steps are pretty consistent though:

1. Open chat window from source file
2. Ask it to do something
3. Close the source file after it gives you a diff editor
4. Reopen the source file (I opened it using goto def)
5. Overlay appears again and can't be dismissed

The same issue occurs at the latest version

[jrieken]

No luck for me. Please enable trace logging and share the logs. Also the source from which you have started.

[jrieken]

Ok, I could reproduce. The steps from #391 (comment) are good, but make sure to not enable auto-save

@tuduongquyet please still check and share logs, it is still possible that you are facing a completely different issue

[SiyabongaCyril]

I am facing the same issue.
Github Copilot Chat version: v0.7.1
Visual Studio Code version: 1.82.3
The inline chat does not appear to have a close button. Cancel only appears after making a request, and is able to close the inline chat window.
