Copilot repeating its answer/suggestion infinitely, with no option to cancel
Type: Bug
I just asked Copilot (with 3.7 Sonnet Extended Thinking) to give me a help and some ideas about how to organize my new module, and it is repeating insanely the same stuff, with part of the answer being visible, and other part looks like it's being processed. That, repeated 100 times (so far)

This is how it was for a long time:
After a few minutes, the part of the response that wasnt loaded yet started to be displayed in the new repetitions. And Copilot keep repeating itself ! While I had Copilot tab open the Editor and my computer itself were laggy and hard to use. I'm not sure if it is important or not, but my GitHub Copilot version is 1.290.1455. Windows, VSCode and extensions, all up to date.
One of the problems of this behavior (beyond the bug itself) is that it may burn all my quota for Copilot =/
I am facing the same issue, on GPT-4o as well as Claude 3.7 Sonnet,
Confirming the same behavior. My setup:

(I had to manually stop the chat session, hence the "finish reason: [stop]")
I have been experiencing this for quite some time now. Usually it happens twice when it happens and is just annoying. Today it kept looping until I clicked the stop button. I use Gemini 2.5 Pro.
I'm getting this for Claude 4 and Gemini 2.5 Pro too. I'm guessing it's also eating my credits, so that's properly annoying.
@bhavyaus there have been several releases fixes for both the plugin and vscode. I hope the philosophy isn't just "let's just not do anything for 6 months and see whether people continue complaining". This issue was raised almost 8 months ago and it doesn't look like MS/GH has put even 10 minutes worth of resources on this... except to push back when someone might take a look at it.
That's pretty disappointing.
That said, I personally haven't had this in well over a month.
