Description

  • Extension version: v0.92.0
  • VSCode Version: 1.91.0
  • OS: macOS Sonoma 14.5

Whenever I add a comment through the extension, it shows up as a review comment, see e.g. https://github.com/mne-tools/mne-python/pull/12707#pullrequestreview-2171610586. However, that's not what I want to do, and I think that's also not what is supposed to happen. What should happen instead is that a normal comment is added to the discussion.

Steps to Reproduce:

  1. Check out some PR
  2. Add a new comment
  3. The comment is associated with a review, which should not happen in my opinion

Contributor guide

No contributing guide indexed for this repository

First steps

  1. Read the whole issue, then the project's contributing guide.
  2. Comment on the issue to say you are picking it up — it saves two people doing the same work.
  3. Fork the repository and make your change on a branch.
  4. Open a pull request that references the issue number.

Research direction

Reproduce the issue in the VS Code extension by checking out a pull request and adding a comment. Trace the extension's comment-submission flow and compare the resulting review association with the intended discussion comment; done means a newly added comment is posted as a normal discussion comment rather than a review comment.
