What's Wrong?

Autocomplete prompt suggestion included hallucinated Korean text ("오늘은 이 영상에서 만나보실게요") appended to an English suggestion post-submission. Likely glitch in the suggestion generation/hidden text. Went to approve and submit the autopopulated follow-on prompt from CC. Original prompt said "open it in a file so I can read through" - submitted it as is with no edits. In conversation thread, my message now reads "open it in a file so I can read through <korean letters that mean 'today we will meet in this video'>"

*I don't speak korean, have never typed in korean, do not have korean keyboard enabled, did not copy/paste, have no clipboard manager, and it did not originally show in the text prompt. It was generated by Claude Code's prompt suggestion feature.

What Should Happen?

Claude should not invent random letters that I did not approve or submit.

Steps to Reproduce

  1. Start a Claude Code session
  2. Ask Claude to read/display a file (e.g., "can you open the prompt for [skill name]")
  3. After Claude responds, observe the autocomplete prompt suggestion
  4. Accept the suggested follow-up prompt
  5. The accepted prompt may contain hallucinated Korean text appended to the English suggestion: "오늘은 이 영상에서 만나보실게요" ("you'll see it in today's video")
