Description

Type: Bug

I created a new workspace with a new dotnet console application.
In the .vscode folder, I created the following snippets.code-snippets file. For brevity, I've removed the comments.

{
   "copyright": {
      "scope": "csharp",
      "prefix": "cr",
      "isFileTemplate": true,
      "description": "description",
      "body": [
         "$BLOCK_COMMENT_START Block Comment",
         "$BLOCK_COMMENT_END",
         "$LINE_COMMENT copyright $CURRENT_YEAR fizzbin",
         "$LINE_COMMENT A second line"
      ]
   }
}

When I create a new file via Command + N, click "fill with template", and select my above template, I get the following file:

Block Comment

copyright 2024 fizzbin
A second line

Note that these are not comments. They should be comments.

If I goto Extensions in the sidebar, and disable all extensions, the above still happens. Note that I also tried this on a Linux system (Debian Bookworm, Arm64, same VSCode version), with the same results.
