openclaw - 💡(How to fix) Fix TUI: spinner disappears when user starts typing while response is pending [1 participants]

TL;DR

The spinner/loading indicator should be modified to remain visible while the agent is processing, even when the user is typing in the input field.

Guidance

• Review the event handling code for the input field to ensure it doesn't inadvertently hide the spinner on keypress events.
• Verify that the spinner's visibility is tied to the agent's processing state, rather than the input field's state.
• Consider adding a separate visual indicator that remains visible while the agent is running, to provide feedback to the user.
• Check the OpenClaw version's documentation for any known issues or configuration options related to the spinner's behavior in TUI mode.

Example

No specific code example can be provided without more information about the implementation, but the fix likely involves modifying the JavaScript event handlers for the input field and spinner.

Notes

The solution may depend on the specific implementation details of the OpenClaw version and the TUI mode, which are not provided in the issue.

Recommendation

Apply a workaround to modify the spinner's behavior, as the issue seems to be related to the implementation rather than a version-specific bug, and upgrading to a fixed version is not explicitly implied.
