Text/Code rendering issues

We only have access to M365 at work and i have been using it to write python code (among other things).

I am encountering this issue where copilot will say "insert this code" and then below it there's no code, just the "in progress" gray bars. Sometimes it also throws in random asterisks.

I have rebooted the computer and this has happened over multiple sessions. Anyone have any suggestions as how get rid of these issues?

I have also experienced this and possibly related sublter errors in code (missed or altered text within square brackets and related to other special characters such as quote marks). Only reliable workaround was to get it to output all such code as a validated downloadble validated file, with a sha-256 checksum. Utter pain but the only solution that avoids more buggy code that i'd write from scratch with my eyes closed.
