Arrow up/down keys shouldn't delete chat message

[CanRau]

• VS Code Version: 1.85.0
• OS Version: macOS Big Sur 11.7.10
• Logs:

Steps to Reproduce:

1. Type something in chat
2. arrow up or down multiple times until message disappears
3. message lost

This happens due to prompt history which I appreciate, though it shouldn't just forget what I'm writing right now, this was very unexpected as I didn't even knew about prompt history until now. I use arrow up/down a lot to move around what I'm writing but never had it delete everything 😬

I just created the same issue and only saw your issue afterwards, it wasn't there yet when I started typing :)

More info and a video of how it looks can be found in #662

Haha, was about to say let's close mine as you've got a video but I think now that everything's cross linked shouldn't matter too much.

More importantly I'm glad I'm not the only one 🤓

Hopefully there's a solution soon, happened again right after posting this 😅

Sorry, I made some improvements to history navigation but this situation should not happen.

Might be able to get this out in an update in January if we do a 1.85.2

I lost a few prompts in the past days by accidentally typing arrow up one-too-many times when editing the prompt, and it is always super frustrating to lose the prompt. Specially that it tends to happen to longer prompts in which I invested effort crafting it.

I've had it happen both in the sidebar chat & the inline chat.
