What's Wrong?
When I switch away from an active session to another session,
and then return to it, the session UI appears idle with no
processing indicator. The response is not visible in the
conversation. If I ask what happened, Claude replies that it
already delivered the answer — but the response text is absent
from the UI.
What Should Happen?
When returning to a session that was processing in the background,
the response should be visible, or at least a status indicator
should show that the session completed or is still working.
