Chat attach image, help
I see the chat UI which Copilot uses is part of VS Code core, a great decision by the developers. I have been using the chat UI a lot the past few weeks, without being logged into Github as I ended my subscription last week.

They say a picture says a thousands words. When I worked with Copilot i would often paste in a screenshot to describe a problem. It's vital to my coding workflow.
After much frustration today I noticed on Windows 11 that the same functionality (image in chat) is only available if I'm logged into Github. I can't be logged into Github anymore.
The models I have plugged in are multi modal models like Minimax M3, so there's no reason why I should see "The attachments section on this message is empty — no file is linked. Could you try attaching it again?" I've tried drag and dropping the image file, copy and pasting the image, every way I've tried it won't work.
Has anyone else struggled with the same problem? Is there a fix out there?
