Does this issue occur when all extensions are disabled?: Yes
- VS Code Version: 1.118.0
- OS Version: Windows_NT x64 10.0.26200 (Windows 11 Pro)
Steps to Reproduce:
I don't have steps to reproduce. This just happens once in a while. In the latest case, this is what I observed, although I cannot say that this is what triggered it.
I started a code review session yesterday night. The chat was running in a separate window to keep the font readable. Next morning I noticed a VSCode update, so I installed it and restarted VSCode. When it started, the chat history showed all chats, but selecting the last two of them shows just an empty chat window.
I can piece together the last Copilot response from the .jsonl file below.
%APPDATA%\Code\User\workspaceStorage{id1}\chatSessions{id-2}.jsonl
I can also see the input I started typing for this chat in the empty chat window and I can find it in workspaceStorage{id-1}\state.vscdb.
I started 5 chats yesterday and I can see the chat text for the two of them in the middle (in history order) and empty chats for the first 2 and the last one for that day.
This is not a new problem - I saw the same a few weeks ago, just not at this scale. It was perhaps one or two chats emptied out in a couple of months. Having a few of them disappear in one day, especially the ones that still have active chats is more disruptive than not being able to see older chats.
