💻 Code

type Abc = "a" | "b" | "c";

const array1: Abc[] = ["a", "b"];

const array2: Abc[] = [
    ...array1,
    "a", 
    "b",
    "d",
]

🙁 Actual behavior

The whole contents of array2 is highlighted in red.

🙂 Expected behavior

Only the "d" should be highlighted in red, as it is the only incorrect part of array2. Note that if we remove the spread ...array1, then it works as expected.

Additional information about the issue

With more complicated types/data, this bug can make it pretty hard to diagnose where the problem is.
