Question prompt overlay blocks response text with no minimize/close option #28956
Description
Description
Describe the bug: When the AI uses the question tool, the prompt dialog overlays the terminal UI on top of the previous response text. There is no minimize, close, or dismiss button — the user cannot scroll back to read what the AI just wrote before the question appeared. This forces users to either guess the answer or close the prompt entirely (losing their input).
Be collapsible/minimizable so the user can read the response underneath
Appear below or alongside the response text (not overlaying it)
Have a clear "minimize" button that temporarily hides the prompt
Environment:
Platform: Linux
Terminal: CLI (not IDE/VS Code extension)
opencode version: latest
Suggested fix: Add a minimize/expand toggle to the question prompt, or change the layout so the prompt appears below the response text rather than as an overlay.
Plugins
No response
OpenCode version
opencode v1.15.7.
Steps to reproduce
To reproduce:
- The AI sends a detailed response
- AI immediately calls the question tool
- The question dialog appears, covering the response text
- No minimize or close button is visible
- User cannot read the response without dismissing the question
Expected behavior: The question dialog should either:
- Be collapsible/minimizable so the user can read the response underneath
- Appear below or alongside the response text (not overlaying it)
- Have a clear "minimize" button that temporarily hides the prompt

This is happening in Windows desktop latest version(1.17.5) as well and it is very annoying. I think its not the same issue as #28935.
There is indeed a minimize button in the upper right corner of the prompt overlay but does nothing. I think the expected behaviour is that this button collapses the block so you can see what is underneath.

Reopening – this was incorrectly closed by automated question-issue cleanup. Sorry for the noise.

I have a PR that fixes this: #34116

I hope this gets approved soon. I was about to report the same UI bug (AI questions covering supporting generated inference with no option to minimize so as to read underlying reasoning prior to answering question.) My quick read of your PR seems to cover this. Thanks !!
