Root Cause

When I exit to the default mode using /tui default while a background process is running, it gets killed, likely because claude kills itself and resumes again.

What's Wrong?

When I exit to the default mode using /tui default while a background process is running, it gets killed, likely because claude kills itself and resumes again.

My reason for exitting is that while in /tui fullscreen mode, the log for the background shell is not visible properly. It clips to 3 lines and I want to see more, hence I wanted to exit.

My terminal is kitty

What Should Happen?

It should retain any and all background processes and change to the /tui default rendering mode
