Drag-and-drop and Ctrl+V paste stopped working on Windows 11

Description

Drag-and-drop of files/text blocks into the Claude Code input line stopped working. The drag icon appears over the input area but dropping does not insert anything. Ctrl+V paste also does not work.

Environment

  • OS: Windows 11 Home 10.0.26200
  • Shell: bash
  • Terminal: Windows Terminal (default)
  • Claude Code model: claude-opus-4-6

Steps to Reproduce

  1. Open Claude Code in Windows Terminal
  2. Drag a file (e.g., a .txt file) from Explorer onto the Claude Code input line
  3. The drag icon appears but nothing is inserted on drop
  4. Alternatively, copy text to clipboard and press Ctrl+V — nothing is pasted

Expected Behavior

  • Drag-and-drop should insert the file path or file contents into the input
  • Ctrl+V should paste clipboard contents

Notes

  • This previously worked and stopped without any changes on the user's end
  • Likely related to a recent Claude Code update
