When resuming an old session the agent used in that old session is not selected #4489

Closed

Description

Describe the bug

I was in a session where I started with a specific agent (i.e. /agent x). I then resumed that session the next day and I had to select the agent again manually.

This is kind of hard to see if you don't pay close enough attention to it.

I'm also a bit unsure how big the impact is since the agent would already be in the history.

Affected version

1.0.80

Steps to reproduce the behavior

  1. create a session
  2. select agent /agent x (agent name should show up in the bottom bar)
  3. use the session
  4. /clear
  5. /resume the old session
  6. agent name is not shown in the bottom bar

Expected behavior

Agent that was using in the the resumed session should again be selected automatically.
