VSCode regularly crashes when the AI ​​copilot is thinking #289550

Description

Type: Bug

Hello,
From last update, I'm using Gemini 3 Pro for coding.
Regularly the AI stop thinking and answering. Only the loader stays.
If I stop the prompt. It doesn't reset and the AI doesn't answer.
If I close and relaunch Vscode, then the AI continue to answer till next crash.
This is not VSCode who is crashing, but the answer of the AI.
