ask_user  form: pressing Enter early submits/cancels and permanently discards the in-progress typed answer

Describe the bug

Severity: High (data loss — user-authored content is unrecoverable)

Impact: Loss of substantial user-typed input; forces the user to re-type from scratch and erodes trust in the form UI.

Suggested fixes: Draft autosave/restore for elicitation forms; make Enter insert a newline in text fields (submit via a distinct key like Ctrl+Enter); on cancel/escape, stash the draft (similar to  ctrl+s  stash/pop) rather than discarding it.

Affected version

GitHub Copilot CLI 1.0.83

Steps to reproduce the behavior

What happened: While typing a long free-text answer into an agent  ask_user  elicitation form, I pressed Enter before finishing. This submitted/advanced the form, and when I hit Escape to get back, my entire in-progress answer was erased with no way to recover it.

Expected behavior

Expected: Either (a) Enter in a multi-line form field should insert a newline (require an explicit submit action/confirmation to send), and/or (b) an accidental submit/escape should preserve the drafted text (e.g., restore it into the input buffer, or offer undo/ ctrl+r -style recovery). Long answers should never be silently, irrecoverably lost.

Additional context

No response

Commencez par reproduire le flux d’Enter précoce et d’Escape dans le formulaire d’élicitation ask_user, puis examinez comment la saisie de texte est gérée lors de la soumission et de l’annulation. C’est terminé lorsque les brouillons longs ne sont pas supprimés de manière irrécupérable et que le comportement de soumission choisi est clair et testé contre les pressions de touches accidentelles.
