What's Wrong?

I'm using vscode. Sometimes when I'm writing messages in the chat, the whole thing that I'm writing disappears. It's like the panel reloads automatically for no reason and doesn't save what I'm writing, then I need to start from scratch, which is the opposite of why I paid for the subscription, to be mo productive.

This is a huge friction point in my workflow now, I need to actually write the text somewhere else that's more reliable than this claude code extension, then copy into the chat box. It's annoying.

1. If the panel needs to reload for any reason, just check if there is a message and autosave the current status so I don't lose it.
2. Let the user know why it needs to reload, it just doesn't make sense that I'm loading a session, then when it finishes loading and I start writing something, it reloads again.

What Should Happen?

It should be reliable.

Error Messages/Logs

No errors, it just blinks (that's why I think it reloads something in the panel), and my message is gone.

Steps to Reproduce

1. Load a past sessions, in general the last one from yesterday
2. When it loads, start writing a message right away
3. When I'm at then end of the first sentence, the text is gone

Sometimes I lose the message in the middle of the session, also for no reason.
