Bug

Body

Steps to reproduce:

Run "File: New Untitled Text File" command (Ctrl+n)
Change Language Mode to any language with comment line support (let's use HTML for now)
Press Ctrl+/ (editor.action.commentLine keybinding) -> This will create a comment line
Press Ctrl+Enter to open Copilot Suggestions window
Press Ctrl+w to close Copilot Suggestions window
Press Ctrl+/

Expected:
editor.action.commentLine command should be invoked

Actual:
github.copilot.acceptCursorPanelSolution gets invoked

For some reason this when condition returns true, which causes this issue: github.copilot.activated && github.copilot.panelVisible

This happened on Linux, but I'm guessing this will happen on Windows too since it also uses Ctrl modifier.

Hey @taylankasap, is your issue resolved?

I'm facing the same issue too. For me, it's on Windows; the expected command editor.action.commentLine isn't invoking. Instead, the action invokes github.copilot.acceptCursorPanelSolution whenever github.copilot.activated and github.copilot.panelVisible are active.

More info:

[KeybindingService]: / Received  keydown event - modifiers: [ctrl], code: Slash, keyCode: 191, key: /
[KeybindingService]: | Converted keydown event - modifiers: [ctrl], code: Slash, keyCode: 90 ('/')
[KeybindingService]: | Resolving ctrl+/
[KeybindingService]: \ From 5 keybinding entries, matched github.copilot.acceptCursorPanelSolution, when: github.copilot.activated && github.copilot.panelVisible, source: user extension GitHub.copilot.
[KeybindingService]: + Invoking command github.copilot.acceptCursorPanelSolution.

I cannot test at the moment. Let me get back to you on tuesday.

I have run into this issue as well (on Linux). It seems the editor thinks there is a panel open somewhere, but I can't for the life of me work out where. Closing an reopening the VSCode window is the only thing I have found that resolves the issue.

Developer: Reload Window works to get out of the bad state. Very annoying though.

Closing an reopening the VSCode window is the only thing I have found that resolves the issue.

The same worked for me on windows too. But the Developer: Reload Window option, won't let you do so. Hope they fix it soon.

I've updated to 1.88.1 and no, the issue is not resolved. I also reload the window as a workaround for now.

A workaround that works for me (on Windows), to avoid reload VSCode now and then:
Change (or remove) Keyboard Shortcut for "GitHub Copilot: Accept panel suggestion at the cursor".

Same issue.
Someone filed a bug report already microsoft/vscode-copilot-release#1143
Let's see where it goes.

This doesn't resolve the source of the issue but if you want to work around this without actually removing the "GitHub Copilot: Accept panel suggestion at the cursor" you can update the when condition to:

github.copilot.activated && github.copilot.panelVisible && 1 == '2'

This will force the condition to fail 100% of the time. Once the underlying issue is fixed you can then just remove the additional condition and things should go back to working as expected.
