[BUG] Unwanted file navigation after edit acceptance: End up on unrelated files

What's Wrong?

When starting a new request while sitting on a file in the IDE (eg DataService.php), Claude makes the requested edit (correctly) in another file (eg User.php). When the edit is accepted, the IDE navigates to an unrelated and seemingly random third file (eg comm-header.blade.php) with no prompt context justifying it. These files are usually but not always other open files in the editor, but are not necessarily among the most recently viewed or edited files.

This issue occurs 100% of the time when accepting single-file edits.

What Should Happen?

After acceptance, stay focused on either the edited file or the original file; no unsolicited navigation.
