What's Wrong?

When trying to send another input as Claude Code is working, if a confirmation prompt pops up as I'm hitting enter, the confirmation gets confirmed instead of the text being sent. This potentially leads to inadvertent confirmation of items that haven't been reviewed rather than the expected behavior of sending the input and then dealing with the confirmation.

What Should Happen?

If there is any text in the input box, hitting enter should send the text rather than interacting with the confirmation prompt.

Steps to Reproduce

  1. Instruct Claude to do something that will require a confirmation
  2. Enter some text in the input box
  3. Wait for Claude to ask for a confirmation
  4. Hit enter

This is a bit contrived - in the worst case Claude displays the prompt as the user is hitting enter to send additional text and it's "swallowed" by the confirmation.
