Hey, thanks for the report!

This is a known issue we’re already tracking. It happens when you delete the chat that’s currently open, the new chat tab that opens afterwards gets stuck on the loading spinner.

In the meantime, you can recover without losing anything: press Ctrl+Shift+P, type “Reload Window”, and run “Developer: Reload Window”. After the reload, a new chat opens normally.

I’ve added your report to the existing issue!
