Description

After using the Continue VSCode extension for a few minutes, the Copy/Paste functionality stops working. Additionally, when this happens, the ShellCheck extension begins displaying false syntax errors.

I primarily use the Continue extension for tab auto-completion in shell scripts.

Troubleshooting Steps Tried (No Success):

• Updated the OS to the latest version.
• Disabled all extensions except Continue
• Disabled the code indexing
• Updated VSCode to the latest version.
• Switched to the pre-release version of the Continue extension.
• Tested previous versions of the extension (0.8.65, 0.8.63, 0.8.61).

Unfortunately, the issue is so disruptive that I’ve had to disable the Continue extension entirely. When the extension is disabled, VSCode works perfectly, and I encounter no issues.

Is’t so annoying that I have to stop using the extension. With the Continue extension disabled, VSCode is working fine and I don’t experience any issues.

Note that this occurs only when actively using the extension (e.g.: editing a file). The problem doesn't occurs by itself when VSCode is left open overnight.

To reproduce

1. Enable and configure the extension in VSCode for tab autocomplete and normal model
2. Edit a shell script (.sh)
3. After a few minutes of active editing, copy and paste become unresponsive
