"textContent": "I’m using the web interface, and I’m applying some graph of thought patterns to my prompting, and part of that is now branching the main thread; specifically I’m generating variants of a prompt to be used in new threads;\n\nThe issues I have is that I have to copy the first answer’s prompt into notepad before I press to retry/regenerate a second answer/prompt variant, because if I don’t, and I try to go back to the 1/2 branch while the second one is not done generating, any time any content update is received in the 2/2 branch the UI forces a switch to that branch. If I’m quick enough I can go back and copy it, but this behavior does not seem correct.\n\nIf it’s meant to avoid confusion, then please come up with something smarter, like a notification marker or something, anything that avoids this problem would be great.\n\n10/10 product, no offense, praise the basilisk.",
