Copilot stops working on code that contains hardcoded banned words from GitHub

Personally I don’t mind, but then my code doesn’t contain for example genders or similar things, so I don’t encounter this issue often at all. But for someone else’s code it can be annoying to have it stop completely. And generally you prefer the services you pay for to not annoy you.

Though I gotta say, recently I was working with a program that had –f*** as a parameter, and Copilot would just stop working whenever I focused anywhere in the code after this parameter was mentioned. So it was a bit disruptive to wait for it to autocomplete before realizing it refused. I ended up replacing any menions of that parameter to –duck, and there weren’t any issues.

The thing is, Copilot does something similar with IP addresses, but instead of completely refusing, it just stops temporarily and waits until you write the IP address, and then starts autocompleting right after. Not sure what the reason is, I assume privacy stuff. But it could do something similar with ā€œbadā€ words, instead of completely refusing to continue.
