Can you follow these steps so that we can get more information on what's going on?

Enable trace logging

• Open the Command Palette (cmd/ctrl+shift+p)
• Run the Developer: Set Log Level... command
• To the right of Trace, click the double check mark button. ✔️ ✔️ (enables trace logging as the default)

Now wait for the issue to happen or trigger it...

Getting the logs

• Open the Command Palette again (cmd/ctrl+shift+p)
• Run the Output: Show Output Channels... command
• Choose GitHub Authentication
• Copy and paste the contents of what opens in the panel in this issue (if the contents is too large, you may need to upload it as a file)

Do these steps again for these other output channels:

• GitHub Copilot Chat
• Window <--- VERY IMPORTANT

Reverting trace logging (optional)

When we're done here, to revert the log level back to the default:

• Open the Command Palette
• Run the Developer: Set Log Level... command
• To the right of Info, click the double check mark button. ✔️ ✔️ (to set the default back to info)
