Hi @denisyilmaz We are reviewing this issue. From our product team member kimadeline as posted in this discussion:

• Quick update on this issue:
• Despite the symptoms being similar, this is not related to the multiline regression issue that happened around April-May 2022
• We are actively looking into it 🔍
• It seems like it should mostly an issue for code written in JS, TS, Go and Python (for all editors). If you encounter these issues in languages other than the ones listed there please speak up 📣

Curious to hear if there's any updates? Also dealing with this in VSCode in a TS project.

Seems some starts of lines only give a 1-line suggestion (like export const)

whereas others (functions ... seems to work) does suggest multi-line. (Very odd suggestion though, it's post-transpiled TS code)

Here it magically worked again since last week. But not 100% of the time.. would be great if this feature would be more predictable, specially for a paid feature…

having the same issue. I have to click "Tab" and "Enter" for it to complete a full function for example.

That's makes copilot not functional at all.

I have the same issue in with copilot in VS-Code. This is actually a little disappointing for a paid product.

[DanielGit4]

are there any updates on this?

I'm experiencing the same. It seemed to be fixed a while back, but it's back to happening for the last few weeks

Same issue here. getting single line suggestions a lot of times. But i realized when opening GitHub Code Pilot (CTRL + Enter) i get full suggestions:

Suggesion for comment on previous line (hidden) "add arrow function to say "Hello {name}", as you can see, only single line is suggested:

Suggestioned in opened GitHub Copilot tab (has multiple lines, but misses the closing } on the function:

As a paid extension this is really disappointing…

@denisyilmaz How do you open that? I can't see that menu

[denisyilmaz]

on a mac just use keyboard shortcut ctrl + enter or via mouse click the three dots next to the GitHub Copilot tooltip in VS Code:

I use the latest version of VS Code with the GitHub Copilot extension installed.

[ThiagoMaia1]

Ah, sorry, I used command + enter, instead. Control + enter does work for me.

GitHub Copilot Nightly extension works better for me and suggests all code inside function (except for the first line of function declaration).

As of June this is still a problem for me

This is anecdotal, but of the 4 projects I use this with, it's much more common with my largest workspace. My smallest project always works.

I'm having the same issue, multiple lines are only happening with functions (I'm using javascript).

Same problem here. It is just mildly infuriating enough that I had to come here looking for fix because sometimes I don't mind this to help me inspect all the generated code. But some lines are so repetitive that this becomes an issue
