[BUG] Autocomplete highlight stuck on first custom command, doesn't update when typing built-in commands

Environment:
- Claude Code version: 2.0.33
- OS: macOS (Darwin 25.0.0)
- Terminal: Ghostty
Description:
When custom commands exist in ~/.claude/commands/, the autocomplete highlight gets stuck on the alphabetically first custom command and doesn't update when typing matches for built-in commands.
Steps to Reproduce:
- Create any custom command in
~/.claude/commands/that starts with 'a' (e.g.,aaa-test.md) - In Claude Code terminal, type
/to open autocomplete - Continue typing any built-in command (e.g.,
/exit,/hooks,/help) - Observe the autocomplete menu
Expected Behavior:
- As you type characters matching a command, the highlight should move to the matching command in the autocomplete list
- The highlight should update dynamically as you type
Actual Behavior:
- The moment
/is typed, the highlight locks onto the first custom command alphabetically - The autocomplete menu shows the correct filtered list of commands as you type
- BUT the highlight remains stuck on the first custom command (e.g.,
/aaa-test) - This happens regardless of what you type (
/exit,/hooks, etc.) - Arrow keys are required to manually select the desired built-in command
