Copilot Review appears to do nothing in a Jupyter Notebook #296284

Description

Does this issue occur when all extensions are disabled?: Yes/No. Because it is related to the GitHub Copilot Chat extension.

  • VS Code Version: Latest
  • OS Version: Windows 11

Steps to Reproduce:

  1. Create a test .ipynb file with code cells.
  2. Highlight some code.
  3. Activate the “Chat: Review” feature.

Using the “Chat: Review” feature in a Jupyter Notebook appears to do nothing.

First, the user sees a box like this:

Then, the box disappears and nothing else is shown to the user.

The review is actually conducted, and the suggestions can be seen if the user manually opens the “Comments” tab:

The experience is not great since clicking the items does not do anything. The user can only see the text of the comments, and not the code suggestions.

I believe that this issue is related to #286144 and the infeasibility or difficulty of creating the Copilot Review overlay in Jupyter notebooks.

I am raising this as a separate issue because, at the very least, the IDE should still focus the “Comments” tab to display the items of the review. Users who work exclusively on Python notebooks will not be aware that the review is shown in the “Comments” tab and will assume that the feature is not working at all.
