What's Wrong?

If you run compact after stashing a prompt, once the command completes it automatically restores the stashed prompt, overwriting the new one.

  • Stash prompt
  • Run /compact
  • Unstash prompt to continue typing
  • /compact finishes
  • My prompt gets overwritten with the previous content of the stash ie the initial message

What Should Happen?

  • /compact should not overwrite my prompt automatically after it's done
