[Fixed] VS2022 - Redo doesn't work when the Copilot extension is enabled

[Kimbatt]

EDIT: Seems to be fixed in version 1.12

Description:
When the Copilot extension is enabled in VS2022, the 'Redo' functionality of the text editor doesn't work (neither with clicking it in the Edit -> Redo menu, nor using Ctrl-Y hotkey).
Changing the extension settings didn't seem to do anything, only disabling the extension fixed the problem for me.

Steps to reproduce:
Open a project with VS2022 with the Copilot extension enabled, modify the text, undo the modifications, then try redoing it.

Expected behavior:
The Redo functionality should work when the extension is enabled.

I used:
Visual Studio Community 2022 (64-bit), Version 17.1.3
Copilot version 1.10.0.3

This is an issue with the most recent version of Copilot. This is an extremely breaking issue

I have a theory as to why this is happening. I've noticed that copilot sometimes adds and instantly removes a tabulation character(s). There are cases where it fails to remove that character(s) when you try to quickly type in something when adding a new line - that's how I noticed this in the first place. These modifications might be what's causing the undo history to get cleared.

It's a good theory!

Probably not, because it still shows the undo history (at least for me) if you click the down arrow next to redo, just doesn't do anything when you click any of them.
