Plan mode: AskUserQuestion popup blocks user from reading the AI response
Resolved 💬 3 comments Opened Feb 23, 2026 by tzachi-eon Closed Feb 27, 2026
Bug Description
In plan mode, when Claude uses the AskUserQuestion tool, the popup/modal that appears blocks the user from reading Claude's last response. The user cannot see the context/explanation that Claude just provided before being asked to make a decision.
This creates a frustrating UX loop:
- Claude explains something in detail
- Claude immediately asks a follow-up question via
AskUserQuestion - The question popup covers/hides the explanation the user needs to read in order to answer the question
- User can't make an informed decision because they can't see the answer
Expected Behavior
The user should be able to fully read Claude's response before being presented with a question popup. Either:
- The popup should not obscure the previous response
- There should be a way to dismiss/minimize the popup to read the response
- The popup should appear below/after the response content, not on top of it
Steps to Reproduce
- Enter plan mode
- Have Claude provide a detailed explanation followed by an
AskUserQuestioncall - Observe that the question popup blocks the explanation text
Environment
- Claude Code CLI (plan mode)
