Continue Generating Button No Longer Working

Bug Report: Issue with “Continue Generating” Button in ChatGPT

Summary:
The “Continue Generating” button no longer works as expected. Previously, the button allowed for continuous generation of long code blocks over multiple clicks. However, now it only works once, and further attempts to press it result in no new text being displayed. The chat appears to still be generating content, but no output is visible even after waiting. To move forward, I have to manually stop the generation and type “Continue” in the chat, which often disrupts code formatting.

Steps to Reproduce:

  1. Request a long code block that exceeds the character limit for a single message.
  2. Click “Continue Generating” after the first part of the code is provided.
  3. Observe that no further content is generated, and the chat appears to be stuck in a generating state.
  4. Stop the generation manually and type “Continue” to resume.
  5. Notice that the code formatting often breaks as a result of this process.

Expected Behavior:

  • The “Continue Generating” button should work multiple times, allowing uninterrupted generation of long responses.
  • Content should appear progressively without requiring manual intervention.
  • Code formatting should remain intact throughout the generation process.

Actual Behavior:

  • The “Continue Generating” button works only once, and further attempts result in no new content being displayed.
  • Manually stopping the generation and typing “Continue” is required to resume, which often disrupts the code formatting.

Impact:
This issue makes it challenging to work with long code blocks or responses and causes interruptions in workflow, especially when dealing with complex code that relies on consistent formatting.

Browser/Platform:

  • Browser: Google Chrome and Microsoft Edge
  • Platform: Windows

Additional Notes:

  • The issue occurs consistently across both Google Chrome and Microsoft Edge.
  • The bug affects the generation of long-form content, particularly when dealing with multi-part responses such as code blocks.
