What's Wrong?

I'm running Claude Code inside Visual Code on Windows. When I ALT+TAB to teh Visual Code window and then click in the 'Ask Claude...' input field it does NOT set focus to that input field. You have to click a second time. This is very frustrating.

What Should Happen?

The first time you click in the 'Ask Claude...' input control it should set focus th that control. You should NOT have to click a second time
