Issue with Copilot Plugin Causing Jetbrains Idea Window to Freeze

[tienyee46]

Description:
Copilot 1.4.0.3748 JetBrains Idea 2023.2.5
The Copilot plugin appears to be stuck in a login loop with Copilot Chat whenever activated in JetBrains idea, leading to a frozen state of the entire application window.

Steps to reproduce:
I have discovered that uninstalling the Copilot plugin resolves the freezing issue. However, upon reinstallation, the problem consistently reoccurs, indicating a direct link between the plugin's activity and the freezing issue.
Specifically, the plugin consistently attempts to log in to Copilot Chat, resulting in the freezing of the IDEA window.

Please find attached the thread dump and error logs for a detailed understanding of the problem.

Sorry for missing the notification earlier. Ran into an error because of bad network conditions, which messed up my login. If you're in mainland China, you might want to try using tun mode to proxy the Copilot plugin. This trick seems to do the job.
Once you're logged in and it's cached, the problem doesn't come back.

Also, I reached out to a Copilot team member about this but didn’t get a fix for the IDE freezing when you can't log in.

Just a heads-up, I’ve actually stopped using Copilot recently, so the info I'm sharing might be a bit dated.

Copilot prevent IntelliJ IDEA to close when some process is attached. IDEA 2023.2, Copilot 233.13135.116.

I had the same issue. It went away when I stopped using VPN.

If you're having problems, maybe try switching networks. Post here if that works (to assist with debugging). A plugin shouldn't crash an app if there is a network problem 😆
