What's Wrong?

AUQ covers up the chat too much, so it's hard to read Claude's response before making the choice in AUQ. (Which, by the way, is related to another issue item: https://github.com/anthropics/claude-code/issues/47305 )

I right clicked on the chat's tab label and chose Move to the new window to give more visual real estate around the AUQ UI, but now the AUQ UI is completely gone and the agent is paused in an incomplete state.

What Should Happen?

THe AUQ UI should respawn after you move the chat into its own window.
