All texts in the command line is gone after a switch of window. Even if the user wants to switch to another window to seek help from user guide on one component of a long command, the original text will be gone. This is making it extremely hard to use for users especially for new users who are not familiar with the commands and have to switch between the interface and the user guide. It is extremely troublesome to keep on retyping the commands.

the product is still usable, however, often cause inconveniences

Team's Response

This is intended. As the Vimification relies heavily on h, j, k, l to navigate around. The user won't want the command input to remain open as they would be inserting, h, j, k, l into the command input. Instead, since the User is a fast typist, they can just ctrl + A and ctrl + C the command input text and quickly navigate to the help page and when they are ready, doing ctrl + v to paste what they previously wrote.

Items for the Tester to Verify

:question: Issue response

Team chose [response.Rejected]

Reason for disagreement: Copying and pasting input may work for some users, but it may not be the most efficient or intuitive workflow for others. We shouldn't assume that the users are willing to put in that much energy and patience to consciously Ctrl+C before leaving our application and we can't assume that they do not need to use Ctrl+C after leaving the application.

I strongly doubt the feasibility of the implementation.

## :question: Issue severity Team chose [`severity.Low`] Originally [`severity.Medium`] - [x] I disagree **Reason for disagreement:** Disappearing user input may be confusing for many users who are not familiar with Vimification or keyboard shortcuts. As a tester myself, I constantly ran into situations when my command disappeared after I make a screenshot or switch to another page such as UG. I believe this is the same for most users. Honestly you should seldom see applications that have its user input disappear when user temporarily leaves the page. I strongly agree that the severity should be medium considering how much inconveniences and trouble this feature can bring about to its users, leaving them with very bad user experiences.
