Description

agents-window bug verification-found
  • Open the modal editor window
  • Press escape
  • Sometimes it closes the modal, sometimes not

I think it relies on focus being inside the text editor. If I just clicked in the sidebar to open a new file, it doesn't work. Very frustrating and un-ergonomic that I have to go click the x button
