What's Wrong?

When typing @~/ in the prompt input, the file suggestion popup appears showing home directory contents (~/Applications/, ~/Desktop/, etc.). However, when deleting the text using Ctrl+U (kill line), the popup remains visible and doesn't close.

This only happens when using Ctrl+U to delete - when using backspace to delete character by character, the popup correctly dismisses.

What Should Happen?

The file suggestion popup should close when the @~/ text is deleted via Ctrl+U, just like it does when deleting with backspace.

Error Messages/Logs

_No error messages - this is a UI behavior issue._

Steps to Reproduce

  1. Open Claude Code in terminal
  2. Type @~/ in the prompt input
  3. Observe: File suggestion popup appears with home directory contents
  4. Press Ctrl+U to delete the entire line at once
  5. Observe: Popup remains visible even though the trigger text is gone

Additional Information
