Describe the Bug

Deselecting “Auto Context” is not stopping my Chat message from having several unmentioned files added to the chat context, which I believe is contributing to very long message times for o1 model specifically.

Steps to Reproduce

Uncheck the “Auto Context” checkbox and mention a single file in a project - observe that several unmentioned files are added to the message context.

Expected Behavior

Unchecking the “Auto Context” checkbox should ensure that only the specific files that I mentioned are used as message context.
