Bug Description
When typing in the Claude Code CLI input field, if the input starts with an HTTP/HTTPS URL and additional text is typed after it, the input field freezes and becomes unresponsive. The session/window becomes stuck and requires force-quitting.
Steps to Reproduce
- Open Claude Code CLI
- Start typing a message that begins with an HTTP URL (e.g.,
https://github.com/some/repo and then add more text here) - Continue typing additional text after the URL
- Observe the input field becoming unresponsive
Expected Behavior
The input field should accept text normally regardless of whether it contains URLs at any position.
Actual Behavior
The input field freezes/hangs when the input starts with an HTTP URL and the user continues typing after it.
Environment
- Platform: macOS (Darwin 25.3.0)
- Claude Code: Latest CLI version
- Shell: zsh
Additional Context
This was observed during normal usage when pasting a URL and then adding context text after it. The issue seems specific to URLs at the beginning of the input.
