What's Wrong?

Mac Tahoe 26.3, Terminal.app, Claude Code v2.1.63

• I started CC and asked to create a web page from a Figma export
• CC asked for the path of the export file
• I dragged the file into the CC terminal
• At the bottom, the terminal says "pasting text..." and is unresponsive. I can't enter anything else after this point. Ctrl+C clears the input box, but the CC terminal is still unresponsive.

• I exited CC and started again with the same session ID
• I opened a new tab in Terminal.app and dropped the file
• This wrote out the file path, so I copied it
• I switched back to the CC tab in Terminal.app and pasted the file path into CC terminal with cmd+V
• At the bottom, the terminal says "pasting text..." and is unresponsive. I can't enter anything else after this point. Ctrl+C clears the input box, but the CC terminal is still unresponsive.

The file was in my Downloads folder, which Mac sometimes treats specially. So I tried moving the file elsewhere, but the problem still happened.

(I have a screen recording of the issue but GitHub says "failed to upload" when I drop it into this window.)

What Should Happen?

The file path should appear in the CC terminal.
