What's Wrong?

After opening an agent sub-window and pressing the left arrow key (←) to navigate, returning to the main chat view causes the panel to become scroll-locked. Scroll input is incorrectly routed to the chat history inside the dialog instead of the outer viewport.

What Should Happen?

After closing the agent window, focus should return to the main panel and scrolling should work normally on the outer panel.

Steps to Reproduce

  1. Open Claude Code in a terminal
  2. Trigger an agent window (e.g., ask it to accomplish a multi-step task)
  3. While the agent window is active, press the left arrow key (←)
  4. The agent window closes and you return to the main chat
  5. Try to scroll the main panel — scrolling is dead, input goes to inner chat history instead
