chat history bugs out
Type: Bug
when i scroll up looking at older responses, the entire chat bugs out, some places the code snippets it supplies looses functionality, while at other times it takes a code snippet from a previous response and places in the latest.
and last experience, when asking the ai, the response window flickers between the old response and new one with every new word supplied.

i want to add, that this only occurs when the chat history unloads some of the history and then retrieves it as you scroll up
so, i just found out that the flicker is caused by having the search function open, but not related to the history unload and reload back in when scrolling up.
this is very troubling, specally u take time to teach it first and then it looses all
Does this reproduce in the latest VS Code insiders build ?
If it does, please share some specific steps to reproduce the issue
yes it still happens
its as if it tries to load the history back in, but somewhere in the embedding, it doesnt load correctly, the history does remember the entire size of the chat, but some of the embeds get resized without a scrollbar/compacted or their full original size, it happens already after about 4 to 6 replies
in the meantime i have found out, that opening up the copilot chat into a new window, or having editors in new windows removes its ability to "see" or register those windows, even with you selecting a code snippet and ask about it
another input, resizing the chat window itself while looking at the embed code snippet that has been compressed fixed the embed window and shows the entire code again
before resize:
after resizing side ways:

in regards to this issue, i've done some testing myself,
i understand it to be the request sent that gets too large, like a dictionary that becomes too big in size, and it resends all data every time, reaching the token size limit, thus forgetting parts of the conversation aswell.
this can be fixed by checking a approximate token size limit, telling the user they reached it, then create a new chat or being able to select parts of the chat history for the user to delete, so the chat doesn't loose the entire context.
Yes, also The text window should be doubled give ghe nature of code.. because it won't simplly understand

I believe we've fixed this. Let me know if you're still seeing this in the latest VS Code builds
Fixed now, But the context understanding issues still persist, it simply ignore a 250+ line plus code
