When Copilot Agent executes commands, it hangs until I press enter in the copilot's terminal window. #12495
Description
Activity
also having the same issue.
example
after I press enter in terminal it fixes itself
I have the same issue
I get this all the time. currently even hitting enter isn't bringing it back to life, but usually it does.
I find that also sometimes tests run automatically, and sometimes it is just waiting for them without starting them. I hit the button and it springs back to lifeI discovered this oddity as well. What I have noticed is it isn't limited to GitHub Copilot however (I am experiencing it with Cline as well). I suspect the commonality is Claude Sonnet 4.
I have the same issue, but it's not only Claude Sonnet 4, I was using 3.5 or 3.7. Maybe it was always Claude Sonnet in general, that could be.
Reacted by KyleSame issue. Also with Claude Sonnet 4.

The majority of the hanging issues are fixed in the latest Insiders, see microsoft/vscode#255396. If you still experience issues in the latest Insiders, please create a new issue with the following info:
- A screenshot of the chat and terminal when it's hanging
- Hover the terminal tab, click show details and take a screenshot of the tab. It should look something like this:
- If you can stop the tool call (eg. enter or ctrl+c in the terminal), open the chat debug view here
Then scroll down and find the relevantrun_in_terminalcall and take a screenshot of that

I"m using copilot in agent mode. Instead of processing the command output it executed, Copilot occasionally hangs in commands for an entire session and only after i press enter in the powershell windows it moves to "Working" spinner. Restarting vs code insiders help. but then it comes back after some time.
