Body

I am currently using JetBrains Webstorm version 2024.2.6. I will not be upgrading to the newest version.
I am also using the version 1.5.59-241 which is one of the recently updated copilot plugin version compatible with my version of Webstorm. I have uninstall and reinstalled multiple times and yet the plugin when installed and enabled becomes buggy and unusable. A simple reset of the history and data I think will solve the issue but I am unable to even do that because the plugin is unusable. A crash report is sent every time I enable the plugin.

I am not sure how many people are having this issue. This issues start about a week ago and the plugin has been buggy and difficult to use every since.

Sometimes it does freeze up my IDE as well

Here is a copy of the error stack trace provided by the JetBrains IDE when reporting the crash of the plugin
java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Argument for @NotNull parameter 'fileType' of com/intellij/ide/highlighter/HighlighterFactory.createHighlighter must not be null at
