[BUG] Desktop app: input draft loses markdown formatting after switching session tabs

Bug

A formatted markdown bullet list typed into the prompt input box reverts to raw markdown (literal * characters, no rendered bullets or indentation) after switching to another session's tab and switching back.

Steps to reproduce

  1. Type a markdown bullet list in the input box, e.g.:

```

  • im formatted bullet list
  • bla bla
  • double bla

```
The input renders it as a formatted, indented list.

  1. Switch to another session's tab.
  2. Switch back to the original session.
  3. The draft now shows the raw * markdown — formatting is lost.

Expected

The draft keeps its rendered formatting when switching tabs and back.

Actual

The draft re-renders as raw, unformatted markdown text.

Environment

Notes

Reproducible every time. Screenshots of before (formatted) and after (raw) available on request.
