What's Wrong?

Actual behavior: Input field retains the previously submitted message.

it seems like there was same problem that is marked as resolved https://github.com/anthropics/claude-code/issues/27266 but it was like this for me for 2 weeks and I update claude daily

Also Ctrl+C clears the input but stops execution (so / commands typed mid-session are hard to use without triggering a cancel)

I mentioned that other issue, but it is (a) on linux not mac; and (b) marked as resolved, while I still experience issue.

Same issue here, but on Windows. Opened #38874 with details.

This has been happening for over a month across every terminal (VS Code, Cursor, Windows Terminal, PowerShell). Still broken on v2.1.83.

The previous "fix" in v2.1.5 clearly didn't resolve this — not on macOS (as you reported) and not on Windows either. Really hoping this gets proper attention, it's incredibly annoying to use daily.
