What happened?

When i turn on auto accept edits or Ctrl+o to expand the windows cmd start to bug and the sidebar move by himself and it cant stop until the generation is completed.

For example in my log i call my agent reader and i want to look up what files he going to read so i press ctrl+o and after like 30s the command line start to flash.

TL;DR

Disabling auto-accept edits or avoiding the use of Ctrl+O to expand windows may temporarily mitigate the issue of the command line bugging and the sidebar moving uncontrollably.

Guidance

  • Investigate the auto accept edits feature to see if it can be configured to prevent the command line from bugging.
  • Try to reproduce the issue without using Ctrl+O to expand windows to determine if the problem is specific to this shortcut.
  • Review the provided bug-report-history-1777499252661.json file for any error messages or clues that could help identify the root cause.
  • Consider testing the application with a different terminal or environment to isolate if the issue is specific to the current setup.

Notes

The issue seems to be related to the interaction between the auto-accept edits feature, the Ctrl+O shortcut, and possibly the terminal environment. Without more specific details about the application's code or the exact steps to reproduce, it's challenging to provide a definitive fix.

Recommendation

Apply workaround: Avoid using Ctrl+O to expand windows and disable auto-accept edits if possible, as this seems to trigger the problematic behavior.
