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
- Open Claude Code in Windows Terminal
- Drag a file (e.g., a .txt file) from Explorer onto the Claude Code input line
- The drag icon appears but nothing is inserted on drop
- 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
