What's Wrong?
when i enter some text in the message area of claude code (in the vscode extension) , but dont yet send it (leave it as draft), and then select a different session from the sessions history, when i get back to the session where i had my draft text, the message area is empty and the draft text is deleted
What Should Happen?
moving between sessoin should preserve the draft text
