Description

**Mood:** :(
**Category:** General

While the agent working and editing a .md file, the focus from the chat changes to the markdown editor autoamtically and constantly, which prevents me writing follow up messages while waiting the agent wip.. this is annoying. even right now writing this message in this modal has the same bug

Research direction

Start in the /chat experience and reproduce the focus changes while the agent edits a .md file, using the reported app version 1.0.12 on macOS with the Notionish theme. Trace which chat and markdown-editor views receive focus during agent work. Done means follow-up text can be entered in chat without focus moving to the editor.
