Hi,
I have upgraded the VS Code version, but the copilot chat is stuck like before. it keeps on reading 50 lines and loading with no possible solution. Another output here observed, rather than agent editing the code and make required changes itself, the response is sent to chat in an infinite for loop that does not stop unless manually stopped.
