Visual Studio 2022 Crashing When Using Backspace Key With Co-Pilot Extension Installed

[damiensprinkle]

I am using Visual Studio 2022 64 bit - Version 17.1.2
Microsoft .NET Framework Version 4.8.03752

Below is the devenv log record

Delete key works fine by the way

If I uninstall the co-pilot extension, the backspace key works again

[rngkGit]

Same here, I wonder what this issue is caused by. Are you using the unity library?

[damiensprinkle]

No Unity here, I have the following work loads installed

Asp.Net and Web Development
Azure Development
Node.js
.Net Desktop Env

I uninstalled and re-installed vs with no luck

I'm glad I'm not alone in observing this issue. Visual Studio 2022 crashes when I press backspace in the editor when the Copilot extension is installed.

This is the stack trace associated with the crash:

[GamerSocke]

Got the same Issue and Stacktrace.

[washynator]

This also happens for me

[KrisDevelopment]

Same here. Copilot extension started crashing my VS every time backspace was pressed near any kind of bracket. C#

[jakobdoyon]

I am getting crashes every time I try to type on a line. It doesn't give me any information at all. I just installed Copilot.

If I go onto an empty line, start typing eg. calculatesomething, it freezes and crashes before i can even finish typing the first word.

[Megasware128]

Experiencing crashes/hangs when backspacing since updating to 1.10.0.1
1.10.0.0 worked great until I started receiving JSON-RPC errors
Tested with at least .NET 6 console apps and C++ applications

[DPetersen257]

Issue occurring for me with v1.10.0.1.
Occurring on c# .net 6 winforms application.

Crash occurs every time backspace is pressed
Visual Studio Info.txt
.

[Naquino14]

Same thing happening here.

Crashed 3 times and now im stuck with this on screen...
Im trying to develop a C# .net 6.0 console application.

[kzu]

Should be fixed in the latest release (v1.10.0.2 or later). Please update and give it a try!

[d1vanloon]

In initial testing I'm not seeing the same crash on the latest release of the plugin.

[Naquino14]

Same here, looks like its working now!

[rngkGit]

Still doesn't work for me, I updated my copilot and restarted VS2022 and it still crashes.

[Megasware128]

It does also work for me though

[damiensprinkle]

working for me on 1.10.0.3

Thanks for the quick response!

[TheArPee]

Now working for me in V1.10.0.3
