Comment on checkin appears empty or jibberish on TFS Side

Question

VSCODE connected to TFVC. Checkin works but text entered in Message/Comment field in VSCODE, becomes empty or jibberish in TFS changeset comment field. It occurs no matter the language of the text (English, other, combined).

Comment as appears on regular Visual Studio in View History :

Answer 1

Update

There maybe a check-in comment issue with VSCode 1.16 such as comment not get passed.

TFVC Comment Not being passed to tf checkin command

Suggest you give a try with downgrading VS Code Version or use 1.170-insider

---

To narrow down the issue:

• Suggest you try to use visual studio to check in the same comment of a new changeset.
• Try to use tf changeset command to list the comment info, it will shows either it's a server side issue or the gibberish comment also stored in TFS database.
• Change your OS system language to English(if not) and try again
