Description

@intitni It happened again when I updated to the latest version. It seems like updating breaks it and requires a restart to fix.

Please let me know if anyone else has this issue.

Please also make sure that it can only be fixed by restarting the Mac. And you have checked the following:

  • You have restarted Xcode after an update, which is mandatory.
  • You can accept the suggestions with buttons and key bindings.

Research direction
Investigate the update mechanism in CopilotForXcode. Check if the tab suggestion acceptance breaks after an update. Look at the app's post update behavior and compare with the normal state. Review issue #491 for previous reports. Focus on the interactions between the extension and Xcode after an update.
