The paragraphs don't appear when user prompts are pasted back into the message box, but they do when the prompt is sent again. (made me put paragraphs a few times without being needed, while looking like they are)

Also, skills don't copy.

What steps can reproduce the bug?

Copy and paste a user prompt with paragraphs and skills back into the message box, and send it to see the (COPIED) paragraphs appear only when sent.

What is the expected behavior?

Skills copy and copied paragraphs appear.

TL;DR

The issue may be resolved by modifying the paste handling logic in the IDE extension to correctly preserve paragraphs and skills when copying and pasting user prompts.

Guidance

  • Investigate the paste event handling in the VS Code extension to identify why paragraphs and skills are not being preserved when pasted back into the message box.
  • Verify that the issue is specific to the Business subscription or if it also occurs with other subscription types.
  • Check the extension's configuration options to see if there are any settings related to paste handling or formatting that could be adjusted to resolve the issue.
  • Test the extension with different types of user prompts to determine if the issue is specific to certain types of content.

Example

No code snippet can be provided without more information about the extension's implementation.

Notes

The issue may be specific to the Business subscription or the VS Code IDE, and further testing is needed to determine the root cause.

Recommendation

Apply workaround: Modify the paste handling logic in the IDE extension to correctly preserve paragraphs and skills when copying and pasting user prompts, as this is likely to be a configuration or implementation issue rather than a version-specific problem.
