  • This is a single bug report (please file separate reports for different bugs)
  • I am using the latest version of Claude Code

What's Wrong?

Claude extension windows frequently become unresponsive or seems to stall (fail to respond, while showing the usual 'Churning...' etc) when answering a prompt. I am unable to cancel the query by clicking esc, ctrl-c, clicking the 'stop' button, etc. The only way is to close the tab window altogether - but i don't want to lose the previous thread?

What Should Happen?

tab/Window should respond to a cancellation and return to the thread.

Error Messages/Logs

None - window is completely unresponsive.

Steps to Reproduce

Enter a prompt. Perhaps related to picking up a previous thread after a long period of time/next day.
