Typing a number to answer a multiple-choice question gets captured as free-text feedback instead

What happens: When Claude asks a multiple-choice question (AskUserQuestion) and the UI also shows a feedback/notes input, typing 1 + enter to pick option 1 sometimes lands in the feedback field instead of selecting the option — I don't notice where focus is, so my "1" gets logged as free-text feedback I never meant to send, and the question I thought I answered isn't actually answered.

Expected: A bare numeric reply while a numbered question is displayed should select that option (or at minimum the focused input should be visually unambiguous so it's obvious the keystroke is going into a text field, not the option list).

Impact: Answers silently go missing and the model receives junk "feedback"; conversation state diverges from what the user believes they said.
