Description

Image drag-and-drop functionality stops working after using Claude Code for a while. It works correctly immediately after starting the CLI, but at some point during the session, it stops accepting dropped images.

Environment

  • Claude Code version: 2.1.19
  • OS: Windows
  • Terminal: Windows Terminal
  • Display: Dual 4K monitors

Steps to reproduce

  1. Start Claude Code in Windows Terminal
  2. Drag and drop an image - works fine
  3. Continue using Claude Code for some time
  4. Try to drag and drop an image again - no longer works

Expected behavior

Drag and drop should continue to work throughout the session.

Actual behavior

Drag and drop stops working at some point. The exact trigger is unknown.

Workaround

  • Restarting Claude Code restores the functionality
  • Not yet confirmed if /clear helps

Additional context

  • No error message is displayed when drag and drop fails
  • The terminal is NOT running as administrator
