Hey @Scott_Griffin!

Pressing Stop on a just-submitted first message (before any assistant output appears) makes the Agent Window archive the whole chat, bounce back to the empty New Agent view, and refill your prompt.

Is this happening to you after an assistant message has been emitted? A screen recording would be great here!
