I'm not able to repro this issue. I see that a new issue editor shows:

Do you see any errors?

[yshyonli2]

Thanks for following up! Yes, I'm still having trouble with the feature unfortunately. When I click the pencil icon in the window in order to edit the description, the window disappears and nothing happens.

No issues with the regular "Create an Issue" feature though, but it doesn't include a GitHub permalink of the selected code.

Huh thanks for the video. Can you please do the following:

1. Repro the issue
2. Share the output of GitHub Pull Request
3. Open the dev tools (command "Developer: Toggle Developer Tools") and share the contents of the dev console

Sorry for the delay. I'm currently remoting into my desktop through my laptop, and strangely, doing the Create Issue From Selection command worked the first time after I booted up VS Code (a NewIssue.md file tab appeared with the GitHub code selection link).

But I tried it a second time, and onward from that attempt it's not working anymore—clicking the pencil icon causes the naming window to disappear and no NewIssue.md file to appear. The dev console shows the following:
