Side-by-side diffs now showing in chat responses. Breaks UI/UX #2779

Open binaryfire opened 3 days ago

Hi guys

Chat has started showing diffs (original file on the left, changes on the right). This makes the chat UI unusable unless it's full screen. I keep chat open as a sidebar, as I'm sure are a lot of others. Which means whatever it returns needs to cater to smaller widths. This behaviour should really be opt-in, not opt-out: Image

Also, diffing makes chat functionality overlap with what the Copilot Edits tab does. Chat is for discussing concepts, getting snippets etc. and not for applying edits to code: Image

That's what the Copilot Edits tab is for right?

The chat replies are also inside the code: Image
