A Frustrating Bug in VS Code

Bug Overview

Are you experiencing a frustrating issue with VS Code's Copilot extension? Despite following the instructions to disable completions, they continue to appear.

In this article, we will delve into the details of this issue, explore possible causes, and provide potential solutions.

Symptoms
