the chat can't handle simple requests that otherwise work
Type: Bug
The extension that I am paying for is consistently failing with basic tasks. Without a specific context attachment it ignores the open file and answers it cannot see the code. When asked to answer something with specific context made of 3 files, it ignores 2 out of 3 and checks the active file even though it was not added specifically. It evades answering fully and gives useless timewasting pseudocode, I never requested that. I want specific answers. I am able to get specific answers in GPT-4 why would I continue paying for this???

Copilot Chat Not Working as Intended,These issues significantly impact productivity and trust in the Copilot Chat feature. Prompt resolution of these issues is crucial to enhance the user experience and ensure that developers can rely on Copilot Chat for accurate and contextually relevant assistance.
Over the last few releases, we've rolled out larger context windows, added a widget that lets you control whether the active file is sent as context to the model, and improved how we preserve files when there is too much context for the model. Please try it out again and let us know if you still see issues.
