Plan mode: AskUserQuestion popup blocks user from reading the AI response

[tzachi-eon]

Bug Description

In plan mode, when Claude uses the AskUserQuestion tool, the popup/modal that appears blocks the user from reading Claude's last response. The user cannot see the context/explanation that Claude just provided before being asked to make a decision.

This creates a frustrating UX loop:

1. Claude explains something in detail
2. Claude immediately asks a follow-up question via AskUserQuestion
3. The question popup covers/hides the explanation the user needs to read in order to answer the question
4. User can't make an informed decision because they can't see the answer

Expected Behavior

The user should be able to fully read Claude's response before being presented with a question popup. Either:

• The popup should not obscure the previous response
• There should be a way to dismiss/minimize the popup to read the response
• The popup should appear below/after the response content, not on top of it

Steps to Reproduce

1. Enter plan mode
2. Have Claude provide a detailed explanation followed by an AskUserQuestion call
3. Observe that the question popup blocks the explanation text

Environment

• Claude Code CLI (plan mode)
