Changed

  • Switching from Overview to Changes and back on a pull request no longer resets your scroll position on the Overview tab.
  • The Background agents pill now only shows agents that are still running, removing finished ones instead of leaving stale entries behind.

Added

Fixed

  • Clicking the header of a session plan file in the diff view now opens the Plan tab instead of doing nothing.

What's new in v1.0.19

Added

  • Added a rich text editor for the plan in the workspace Plan tab while Copilot waits for approval.

  • Fixed "New session" on project-scoped canvases in the Extensions Canvas tab so it starts the session directly instead of opening the generic canvas picker.

  • Fixed text selection in the file view so the line-range highlight no longer lingers across hovered rows and copy behaves correctly.

  • The quick open dialog (Cmd+K/Cmd+P) now opens and searches files more responsively.

  • Fixed an issue where renaming a session could be interrupted or reset if an automatic title update arrived while you were still typing.
  • Fixed context menus (e.g. in the sidebar) sometimes closing immediately after right-clicking instead of staying open.
  • Fixed crashes in the browser preview and extension canvas, and a rare crash when pruning old log files.
  • Fixed inconsistent styling of attachment and reference chips (files, images, PR/issue links) so they now look and behave the same in the composer and in the conversation view.
  • Fixed misaligned Path, Project, and Session ID values in the workspace info popover
  • Fixed new chats sometimes being silently discarded when navigating away right after sending the first message or after only using the terminal, so the session and its messages are no longer lost.

Fixed

Changed

  • Refined the look of file attachment chips in the composer with rounded pill shapes and clearer, more consistent file type icons.

  • Fixed the Agent Merge status note so it no longer says "active" after Agent Merge has been turned off.
  • Fixed the conversation view occasionally drifting away from the bottom as new messages arrived while scrolled to the end.

  • Session ID is now shown in the workspace and chat title popovers with a one-click copy button, making it easy to reference a session when working across multiple chats.

  • You can now type & in the composer to mention and reference another session by name.

Changed

  • In repository settings, the trust actions (Accept, Revoke, Keep local, and Create config file) now show a spinner and become non-interactive while the request is in flight, so it's clear the action was registered.
  • Refactored the repository configuration section of project settings into a reusable, presentational RepositoryConfigFileSettings component, with Storybook coverage now backed by the real component. No change to behavior.
  • Shift+Tab in the chat composer now moves focus backward as expected for keyboard and screen-reader users, instead of cycling the session mode. Change modes from the mode menu or with ⌘/Ctrl+Shift+M (remappable in Settings → Keyboard Shortcuts).

  • Fixed the coding agent auto-merging a pull request before GitHub's own merge checks (e.g. required status checks) were satisfied.
  • Fixed the composer's Changes pill not appearing on WSL workspaces when a session had uncommitted edits.
  • Fixed the Impeccable design skill leaving behind stray cache files and git exclude entries in repos where no design issues were found.
  • Fixed third-party MCP servers requiring OAuth getting stuck on an endless "authenticating" spinner instead of prompting to sign in.
  • In project settings, the repository configuration file row is now hidden until a .github/github-app.yml config actually exists, instead of appearing before you've created one.
  • Local automations now use your Settings and per-project instructions, matching interactive sessions.
  • Widened the scrollbar thumb on Windows and Linux and fixed the dark theme hover color so the thumb is brighter on hover as expected.
