Description

When starting an Edit conversation, with specific lines to be Edited. If the user opens and focuses on another file, the changes are actually applied to that opened file - not the file set into the conversation.
This happens in VSCode and PHPStorm.

To reproduce

1. Create A.txt and B.txt
2. In edit mode, ask continue to edit A.txt on line 1 to say "Hello world"
3. Open B.txt (so A.txt is still opened, but as an inactive tab)
4. Submit the message on Continue
5. B.txt is edited on line 1, instead of A.txt
