Describe the bug

Regression: Win+H (Windows Voice Typing) no longer works in the CLI input box — broke with the v1.0.61 input restyling.

Repro:

  1. Launch copilot (Windows 11, Windows Terminal)
  2. Focus the input prompt
  3. Press Win+H
  4. Get error: "To use voice typing, select a text box then try again"

Confirmed not a Windows-side issue: Win+H works correctly in Notepad in the same session.

Used to work in prior versions. The 1.0.61 changelog notes "styled inputs… borders, headers" — the new input frame appears to no longer expose itself to Windows as a standard editable control, so voice typing (and likely other IME / accessibility tools) cannot target it.

Impact: blocks dictation as an input method, which is meaningful for long prompts.

Version: 1.0.61
