Description
Claude Code crashes with React error #185 (Maximum update depth exceeded) when pasting a large block of text into the input field.
Steps to Reproduce
- Record or prepare a large block of text (e.g., voice transcription, several paragraphs)
- Paste it into Claude Code's input field
- App crashes with React error #185
Expected Behavior
Large paste should be handled gracefully, or at minimum show a warning if input is too large.
Actual Behavior
React enters an infinite render loop and crashes with:
error: Minified React error #185; visit https://react.dev/errors/185 for the full message or use the non-minified dev environment for full errors and additional helpful warnings.

Environment
- Claude Code version: 2.1.4
- Platform: macOS Darwin 24.6.0
- Context: Text was transcribed via WhisperDictation and pasted into input
Workaround
Paste text into a file and have Claude read it instead of pasting directly into the input field.
