Slash-command popup overlaps and bleeds through the branch/checkout repo dialog (z-index/layering bug) #1247

Description

Summary

The slash-command (/) autocomplete popup renders on top of and bleeds through the "Pick a branch and checkout mode for each repo" dialog. Both layers are visible at the same time — the command list (/inbox, /chronicle, /docx, …) overlaps the repo rows and their branch dropdowns, making both unreadable. Looks like a z-index / layering (modal stacking) issue.

Steps to reproduce

  1. Open the "Pick a branch and checkout mode for each repo" screen (multi-repo branch selection).
  2. With that dialog open, focus the prompt box and type / to trigger the slash-command menu.
  3. The slash-command dropdown appears over the dialog, and the two layers visibly overlap / show through each other.

Expected

The slash-command menu should either be suppressed while that dialog is open, or render in its own opaque layer that doesn't overlap/bleed through the repo+branch list.

Actual

Both UIs render in the same space simultaneously — text from the repo list (e.g. "FE.MSecSCC", "WDATP.Infra.App.Tenant…", branch "main" dropdowns) shows through the slash-command popup, and vice versa.

Environment

  • GitHub Copilot desktop app, macOS (Apple Silicon).

Additional context
