This issue might be a duplicate of existing issues. Please check:

  • #8063: Don't toggle console for non-critical issues - similar console overlay appearing unexpectedly
  • #7874: Weird error covering prompt input - error gets stuck and can't be dismissed
  • #8230: ESC key causes crash and permanent error message - permanent error message that doesn't go away
  • #7851: Persistent error at bottom of screen - persistent error that cannot be dismissed
  • #8661: Session gone missing after opencode collapse - display corruption on Windows Terminal after window collapse

A pattern has emerged with several issues reporting persistent error overlays that can't be dismissed, particularly affecting Windows Terminal/WSL environments. Your alt-tab scenario might be triggering similar focus-loss or promise-rejection issues. Check those issues to see if any provide solutions or workarounds.

Feel free to ignore if none of these address your specific case.
