What

When the terminal window running Claude Code loses focus, for example when you switch to another app, Claude Code now clears any hover highlight. A hover highlight is the marking that appears when your mouse rests over something. Before, Claude Code only rechecked the screen when the window got focus back.

Why

It should stop hover highlights from staying stuck on screen after you switch to another window and back.
