### What Should Happen?

It should preserve the typed prompt so I can continue edit and submit it. Other tabs that i open like that keep their content.

### Error Messages/Logs

```shell

```

### Steps to Reproduce

Open a new Cloude Code chat as a tab.
Type some prompt.
Drag the tab out of the window so it opens as a new window.

Research direction

Start by tracing the chat-tab drag-out and new-window flow described in the reproduction steps, then reproduce it with a typed prompt. Done means the new window retains the prompt so it can be edited and submitted.
