Environment

- [ ] Other: <!-- specify -->
- Claude CLI version: v1.0.16
- Operating System: MacOS 15.3.1 (24D70)
- Terminal: IntelliJ built-in terminal
Bug Description
After entering a CLI prompt and receiving Claude response, keyboard focus is now in the current source, NOT the CLI, so typing next prompt overwrites source code so I have to repeatedly fix that and click back to the terminal
Steps to Reproduce
- ensure source file open in IntelliJ IDE
- open Claude Code in IntelliJ terminal
- issue prompt in the CLI
- after response is generated, note that keyboard focus now back in source file, NOT the CLI
Expected Behavior
Keyboard focus to stay in the CLI for the next prompt
Actual Behavior
Keyboard focus jumps to current source file in IntelliJ source editor
