Nothing open on GitHub.

Multiple bug reports and fix attempts addressing a desktop issue where the first message in a new chat session fails to send on the first attempt — the input stays populated or the Enter key renames the tab instead of submitting. Several fix PRs target session initialization timing and a drift guard that aborts the first send.

How this cluster was grouped
  • Link evidence (partly structural links): some members are connected by structural evidence (shared changed files, or a closing/superseded reference); the rest are joined by an automated relevance judgement over their text.
  • Members outside that structural core may belong to a different underlying problem.
  • Pairwise link density 0.11: the share of item pairs that carry a link, counting a structural link in full and a relevance-only link at 0.36. 1.00 means every pair is linked.
