Inline completions are trumping normal completions

[rchiodo]

Does this issue occur when all extensions are disabled?: No

• VS Code Version: 1.72.2
• OS Version: Windows 10

Steps to Reproduce:

1. Install python and pylance
2. Install github copilot
3. Install intellicode (to make pylance slower)
4. Have some python code like so:

import numpy as np
np

5. Type a . to try and get completions from pylance and github
6. Sometimes github wins, sometimes pylance wins. Seems to depend upon who is faster.

Debugging this in the python extension, I can see the cancellation for the pylance completions coming from VS code itself.

Thanks for creating this issue! It looks like you may be using an old version of VS Code, the latest stable release is 1.73.1. Please try upgrading to the latest version and checking whether this issue remains.

Happy Coding!

This repros in insiders too.

If I disable copilot, the problem goes away.

In this gif, the first completion works but the second doesn't (copilot wins)

It seems like this is on purpose?

Yes, this is intential.

There is a hidden setting that you can toggle to disable this behavior.

Closing, as this is working as intended. Feel free to create a feature request for the specific behavior you want. Thanks!
