What's Wrong?
When renaming a session by clicking the pencil icon and typing a new name, pressing Enter appears to save the name briefly, but it then reverts to the previous auto-generated title. The rename does not persist.
What Should Happen?
Steps to reproduce:
Open Claude Code desktop app
Hover over a session in the sidebar
Click the pencil (edit) icon
Type a new name
Press Enter
Expected: Session keeps the new name.
Result: Name reverts to the original auto-generated title after a few seconds.
OS: Windows 11

Clicking outside the input field instead of pressing Enter
also does not persist the rename. The issue appears to affect
all sessions regardless of length or content of the new name.
