PowerShell suggestions often end in extra triple backticks

Question

Body

Is there a way to avoid suggestions having an extra line of three backticks like this:

write-host "done"
```

Guessing this is an artifact of training on Markdown?

Hi @dbaileyut ,

Could you please elaborate on the scenario where you're noticing the suggestions are repeated? Also, share version of your IDE and Copilot so we can help you better.

About special characters

Hi, using VS Code - the suggestions themselves aren't repeated they just often end in "\n```"

Hmm, trying to add another screenshot via editing but the upload is broken. How about this:

I have exactly the same issue, but not just in Powershell. It hits me in every file (I use python, dart, and typescript and have seen it in all). It's always the last line. Is there a way I can add certain spans to an ignore-list or something so copilot stops suggesting them? I wouldn't miss this suggestion even if it's what I intended.

export function parseFullyQualifiedId(fqid: string) {
  // my function
}
 ```  // <-- this is the next suggestion (minus the leaning space)
EOF

I see it in vs-code using GitHub Co-Pilot every single time I'm working with Powershell scripts. Quite annoying... but considering Co-Pilot basically writes most of the script for me, I can delete them from the last line easily enough.

Same here, I get them in all kinds of projects: Terraform, Ansible, Python, Go

Same thing here seen with Rust in VSCode - it's very frequently seen

Technically, 68941 is a duplicate of this as I reported it 2 months earlier. Not that it matters as long as the issue is being addressed.
