"Copilot Edits" Generates Duplicate File Progress Bars & Mixes Code in Edits

[ShahanMalik]

When I ask GitHub Copilot to make changes in a specific file, such as custom_button the following issue occurs:

Duplicate Progress Bars:
Copilot displays a progress bar for custom_button from 0 to 100%.
Below that, another custom_button progress bar appears and also progresses from 0 to 100%.

Mixed Code in Files:
After completion, both versions of custom_button contain mixed code from different states of the file.
This leads to errors because different versions of the code are merged incorrectly.

Expected Behavior:
Copilot should only modify the requested file once.
The file should not contain mixed code from multiple versions.

Environment:

Version: 1.98.2 (user setup)
Electron: 34.2.0
Node.js: 20.18.2
V8: 13.2.152.36-electron.0
OS: Windows

Does this repro for you on VS Code Insiders?

[ShahanMalik]

I am not using VS Code Insiders. The issue occurs about once a week, so it's not consistent.

I think this should be fixed on Insiders. If you can test there, or after the next (1.99) release if you see this, please let us know.
