ZomboBrain shares their recent experience using GitHub Copilot Pro within Visual Studio Code to improve their PowerShell scripting abilities. One issue that has arisen during this process is the unexpected appearance of checkbox-like symbols in the code whenever a new task starts and ends, despite no actual checkboxes being intended in the script. The author points out this behavior as confusing and questions whether it is a known bug or some misconfiguration on their part.

To illustrate the problem, a screenshot is provided (Imgur link), showing what these checkboxes look like in the code editor. Following further research, the author discovers a related, unaddressed bug report from May on the GitHub repository for vs-code-copilot, suggesting that other users have encountered the same issue but a solution has yet to be implemented.

Overall, the article serves as both a bug report and a request for advice from the community, inviting further discussion and possible solutions for users facing similar challenges with GitHub Copilot Pro in Visual Studio Code.
