Description
After updating Claude Code VS Code extension to version 2.1.84, dragging and dropping a screenshot/image into the chat input loads the image preview but permanently disables the Send button. The only way to send a message is to remove the image first.
This worked in the previous release.
Steps to reproduce
- Open Claude Code in VS Code
- Take a screenshot or have an image file
- Drag and drop it into the chat input
- Image preview appears in the input area
- Send button is grayed out / disabled
- Cannot send the message until the image is removed
Expected behavior
Send button should remain enabled when an image is attached, allowing image + text messages.
Environment
- Claude Code extension version: 2.1.84
- Platform: macOS (Darwin 23.6.0, ARM64)
- VS Code: latest
