What's Wrong?

In a chat, the agent randomly stops responding. A reload of the window sometimes fixes the issue, but not always, I sometimes have to relaunch VS Code.

It continues working in background, but the interface with the chat is gone. The stop button does nothing, I can send chat messages, but I never receive an answer and apparently the agent does not see my messages.

What Should Happen?

The chat should not hang indefinitely
