Hi, thank you for reporting this issue.

This is due to a couple of technical limitations that arise in the communication channels between the host app and the connecting instance, which also affects how the UI behaves.

The feature is under active development and currently being tracked https://github.com/hoppscotch/hoppscotch/issues/4828.

I'll close this as a duplicate to keep all discussion centralized and bump up the priority in our internal tracker. Please follow #4828 for updates on this functionality.
