What terminal emulator and version are you using (if applicable)?
st (suckless), tmux 3.6a
What issue are you seeing?
If a prompt(s) is queued (using tab) and /agent is used to switch to another and back, the ququeed prompt disappears and never executes.
What steps can reproduce the bug?
- Enter "Start 2 subagents that sleep 30, and wait for them."
- Enter "Say hello"
- Press
TAB /agent, and switch to a subagent/agent, and switch back to the main agent- Observe the task queue is gone, and after the subagents finish it never says hello, so it's not just a display omission.
What is the expected behavior?
The queued prompt(s) should still execute normally
