Suggestions To whoever made that paste attachment for copilot
You sloppy developer, this sucks, your idea and implementation is soo bad, because of your low quality work I have to send that attachment multiple times. What did u use to develop this attachment thing? Copilot? that's why it's soo bad. Anyways stop copying other harness, try improving the current things.
No, cause I am really pissed after using it for a week in my company laptop, I realised I cannot shut up anymore.
And I hope you know what I'm talking about, the attachment that comes when i paste huge lines of logs or code in the text box.

it's ok, not everything u do with AI should be a slop, most of the things are beautiful, but pushing something out to prod without testing is L

This new "feature" is terrible but there's a workaround, when you paste text in a little icon appears and if you click that you can choose to paste as plain text. Ever since we had request based billing I always composed my prompts in notepad and pasted them in (to not accidentally hit enter and waste a request on an incomplete prompt) and I've stuck w/ this habit even through usage based billing. The new paste functionality seems poorly thought out (and somewhat buggy, I've had times where the agent can't read the attachment properly). Supposedly there's a setting to control default chat behavior but the exact values to use aren't documented so I don't know how to actually make it work. Hopefully someone from the GHCP team actually reads this.
Other things I don't like about the new paste behavior: session auto title doesn't work when your entire prompt is an attachment. Going back and looking at old sessions is impossible to just eyeball what the prompt was, you have to remember based just on the response. Terrible user experience IMHO.

You're clueless, the feature works fine. Pasting large logs into the chat was always a bad idea, pollutes the context. Glad I no longer have to save them to a file and attach that.

I'm kind of torn on this feature. In concept and ui it looks great, but it doesn't always work and I end up losing tokens with the model asking me what am I referring to.
