What's Wrong?

Bug Description

In Claude Code version 2.0, pressing double Escape freezes the input field. Once this happens, no further typing is possible.

Current Behavior

• Pressing double Escape locks the input field.
• The only action available is pressing Enter, which submits the current content.
• After submission, pressing Escape interrupts Claude Code, but the input remains unusable.
• At this point, no further input is possible - not even pressing Enter.

What Should Happen?

Clear the input or trigger other appropriate action, but no freeze.
