Steps to Reproduce:
1. Select an edited file in VSCode to add it to the Copilot context
2. Click "+" or the name in the chat window: it fails
If you click on "Describe what to build" then click on "+", then it works.
It makes it very tedious to add files, as every time it requires additional clicks.
