claude-code - 💡(How to fix) Fix AskUserQuestion dialog covers the content above it — add a collapse/minimize toggle

Summary

When Claude asks a question via the interactive question UI (AskUserQuestion), the dialog takes up a large portion of the screen. It overlaps and pushes away the message content directly above it — the very content I need to read in order to answer the question. There is currently no way to temporarily shrink or hide the dialog to re-read that context, so I'm forced to answer with the relevant information partially obscured.

Steps to reproduce

1. Have Claude output a substantial message (e.g. a plan or a list of options) followed by an AskUserQuestion prompt.
2. The question dialog renders at the bottom and occupies a large, fixed amount of vertical space.
3. Try to scroll up / re-read the message that the question refers to.

Actual behavior

• The question dialog (options + free-text "Other" field + Skip/Next footer) consumes a large fixed area.
• The content above it is squeezed into a small scrollable region, making it hard to read the full context before choosing an answer.
• There's no way to collapse, minimize, or temporarily dismiss the dialog to view the full message and then come back to answer.

See the attached screenshot — the red boxes show the message content (top) and the question dialog (bottom) competing for the same limited space.

Expected / proposed behavior

Add a collapse / minimize toggle to the question dialog so it can be temporarily shrunk to a compact bar (e.g. just the question title) while I read the context above, then expanded again to answer.

Possible options:

• A collapse chevron in the dialog header that toggles between full and minimized states.
• Remember the collapsed/expanded preference for subsequent questions in the session.

Why this matters

The question and the content it refers to are tightly coupled — you almost always need to re-read the message to answer well. Right now the UI makes you choose between seeing the question and seeing the context. A collapsible dialog removes that conflict and meaningfully improves readability and answer quality.

Environment

• Claude Code (desktop app), model Opus 4.8
• UI component: interactive question prompt (AskUserQuestion)
