What's Wrong?

When using Claude Code desktop app on Windows with an SSH remote connection (WSL via localhost), the submit button remains greyed out and unclickable even after:

• Successfully connecting via SSH
• Selecting a remote folder
• Typing a prompt in the text box

Neither clicking the button, pressing Enter, nor Ctrl+Enter submits the prompt. The suggestion chips at the bottom also do not work.

Restarting the app does not fix the issue.

What Should Happen?

The submit button should be enabled and the prompt should be submitted when a remote folder is selected and text is entered in the prompt box.

Error Messages/Logs

No error message — button is simply unclickable/greyed out

2. Add an SSH connection to WSL (localhost, port 22)
3. Successfully connect via SSH
4. Select a remote folder
5. Type any text in the prompt box
6. Observe that the submit button remains greyed out
7. Pressing Enter, Ctrl+Enter, or clicking the button does nothing
