vscode: inline suppress suggestions doesn't work anymore

Type: Bug

Seems like newest VS Code version (1.79.0) broke down "editor.inlineSuggest.suppressSuggestions": false. If I type . (dot) or text while inline suggestions are visible suggest widget doesn’t show anymore, I need to trigger it manually. In previous version it showed even when inline suggestions were visible.

Code snippet

class User {
  get userId() {
    return "userId"

@svipas thanks, that’s the result I’m looking for.

Good points. I expect that we get this resolved in the next month or so.

@isidorn Time is passing and I don’t see any changes from Copilot side.

Shouldn’t VS Code have priority to control this behavior? So such extensions as Copilot wouldn’t have any control other this, because I assume this could happen again, and also setting suppressSuggestions is coming from VS Code so it kinda makes sense that VS Code should be in full control. Because now even though setting exists in VS Code, extension controls behavior so that setting should be in extension not in VS Code (my opinion).

Sorry if this sounds like a push, I’m just actually curious why VS Code is not the one who controls it fully instead of giving control to extension which as we could see is not a good thing, because this problem exists and could be repeated again…

@isidorn Didn’t know that, thanks for info. I really like suppressSuggestions setting, previously it was kinda annoying how Copilot tried to predict everything and suggest widget was not showing up, so I’m really keen to have this functionality back. This setting with Copilot is match made in heaven 😃

@svipas thanks for opening this issue but the Copilot team is aware of this and @smalllemur is driving this effort on the GitHub Copilot side. I expect this to be fixed soon-ish. Fabien has more details.
