Bug Description
Dragging and dropping multiple images at once into Claude Code only attaches the first image. The remaining images are silently dropped.
Steps to Reproduce
- Select multiple images (2+) in file manager
- Drag and drop them into the Claude Code input area
- Only the first image appears as an attachment
Expected Behavior
All dragged images should be attached and sent as part of the prompt, similar to how multi-image paste/attach works in other chat interfaces.
Actual Behavior
Only the first image is attached. No error message or indication that other images were dropped.
Environment
- Claude Code version: v2.1.85
- Plan: Max
- OS: Linux (Ubuntu)
- Note: v2.1.85 changelog includes a trailing-space fix for
[Image #N]placeholder on paste, but does not address multi-image drag-and-drop
Impact
This forces users to drag images one at a time, which is tedious for workflows that involve sharing multiple screenshots (e.g., UI reviews, bug reports with multiple screenshots, design comparisons).
