Insiders Feedback: Issue creation widget in VS Code Copilot Chat usability #2602
Description
Version: Insiders
Feature: Issue creation widget in VS Code Copilot Chat
Feedback:
I love this feature. This is way better than looking at JSON.
Two issues:
- When bypassing approvals, the widget still shows even though the agent creates the issue later on in the chat. This can lead to duplicate issue creation if you edit the text in the widget and submit it again, not realizing the agent has already auto-created the issue.
- After submitting, I moved on to other work, then came back to a disconnected codespace. After reconnecting, the chat rendered with the widget as if I never submitted the new issue to be created, even though it was already created.
Screenshot: taken after reconnecting to codespace, showing the widget as if issue was never submitted (even though it was)

This is a very interesting point - some kind of persistent state on reloads would be fantastic. I'm thinking of ways that this could be ensured across different clients.

I hit a related duplicate-creation path through an MCP client:
call_toolrequest with_ui_submitted: trueinstead of returning the result of the original invocation.Expected: submitting the form should resolve the original pending tool call with its result, or submissions/retries should be correlated and idempotent so the agent cannot accidentally open a second create form.
