What's Wrong?
$$ (two consecutive dollar signs) gets reduced to a single $ when pasting multi-line text.
When pasting multi-line text into the Claude Code input field, it collapses into a summary preview showing the line count. During this conversion, any $$ in the pasted text loses a $. Pasting a single line or just $$ by itself preserves it correctly.
What Should Happen?
$$ preserved as-is in all paste scenarios
