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
- 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.
- Switch to another session's tab.
- Switch back to the original session.
- 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

- OS: macOS (Darwin 25.5)
- App version: Claude 1.15962.1 (1e236d) 2026-06-26T19:44:44.000Z
Notes
Reproducible every time. Screenshots of before (formatted) and after (raw) available on request.
