What's Wrong?

When drag out the chat tab as new window it looses the entered prompt.

Prompt is lost:
<img width="652" height="245" alt="Image" src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/8275b3f6-b10f-42a3-a33e-e7dc88f83b37" />

What Should Happen?

It should preserve the typed prompt so I can continue edit and submit it. Other tabs that i open like that keep their content.
