Unclear It is not known which parts of Claude Code ask for the split, so it may not be visible yet.
What
AskUserQuestion is the tool Claude uses to ask you a question in the middle of a task. Claude Code can now split a question into a title and body lines, showing the title as the question and the rest underneath. This happens only when the code preparing the question asks for it. Otherwise the whole question is shown as before.
Why
Long questions may be easier to read with a heading and a body.
