Clicking a notification while a multiple-choice question is open cancels the question (acts like Escape)

What happens

When a session needs input, I get a Windows toast notification in the lower-right corner. If that notification is for a question the session is asking me (the multiple-choice / select-an-answer prompt), clicking the notification cancels the question — the prompt dismisses exactly as if I'd pressed Escape, and the session is left with no answer.

Expected

Clicking the notification should just focus/bring the app forward so I can answer the question. It should not dismiss or cancel the pending prompt.

Steps to reproduce

  1. Have a session reach a point where it asks a multiple-choice question (the popup answer selector).
  2. A toast notification for that question appears in the lower-right corner.
  3. Click the notification.
  4. The question prompt is cancelled (as if Escape was pressed) instead of being brought into focus.

Impact

The natural gesture — click the notification to go answer — is the exact gesture that throws the answer away. I have to ignore the notification and click into the app manually instead.

Environment

  • Claude Code 2.1.207
  • Windows 11 Home (10.0.26200)
  • Notification: Windows toast, lower-right
