GitHub Copilot plugin version
0.15.0.202601270459
Eclipse IDE and version
Spring Tools for Eclipse Version: 5.0.1.RELEASE Build Id: 202512192126
Platform
Darwin Kernel Version 25.3.0: Wed Jan 28 20:53:31 PST 2026; root:xnu-12377.81.4~5/RELEASE_ARM64_T8122 arm64
Steps to reproduce
Don't know exactly - the stop button just sometimes disappears, so there isn't any way to stop CoPilot.
I think it is usually after it runs an external tool.
Logs (optional)
No response
Expected behavior
Stop button being there, enabled and working.
Actual behavior
CoPilot just keeps editing code, and AFAICT I hav no way of stopping it.
I can skip, when it requests to run an external tool, but then it just continues afterward.

Research direction
Start by reproducing the missing stop button in the GitHub Copilot Eclipse plugin using Eclipse 5.0.1.RELEASE on the reported macOS platform, especially after an external tool runs. Trace the stop-button behavior from that scenario and verify that it remains present, enabled, and able to stop editing; add focused diagnostics or tests if the relevant entry point is found.
