What happened:
In the /config panel, after using the search field, switching to another tab, then switching back, keyboard focus no longer returns to the search box or settings list — I can't move down through the results anymore. Focus appears to get stuck and the only fix is to Esc out and reopen /config.
Steps to reproduce:
- Open
/config - Type a query into the search field
- Switch to another tab (
Shift+Tab) - Switch back to the original tab
- Try to navigate down through the settings list with the arrow keys — nothing responds
Expected: Focus should return to the search field / list so I can keep navigating results.
Actual: Navigation is dead until I close and reopen /config.
Environment:
- Claude Code version: 2.1.201
- OS: Linux (kernel 6.18)
- Shell: bash
- Interface: terminal CLI
Frequency: Reproducible every time.
