Steps to Reproduce:
Bug: I "randomly" (many repros) see the Copilot Chat UI not show the expected/desired agent response that I see in the Agent Debug Logs. See the screenshot.
The UI shows "Let me look" and the stops suddenly without showing the "Your setup makes this easy" response that I see in the Agent Debug Logs. I'm guessing some error is happening which causes it to fail to show the response, but I'm not sure how to diagnose it further.
When I type any sort of 2nd prompt, then the UI updates with the previously invisible message. See the screenshot.
i.e. seems like maybe some UI rendering bug is keeping the Agent Response hidden "randomly". This is very annoying obviously since I can't see the agents response until I send another message to the agent.
I would think that this issue should be a high priority to fix since it affects the core Copilot chat experience.
