What's Wrong?

When the new renderer is enabled via CLAUDE_CODE_NO_FLICKER=1, copying text results in corrupted Korean characters.

This happens both when using the /copy command and when manually selecting text (drag + copy).

English text is copied correctly, but Korean text becomes garbled after being pasted.

What Should Happen?

Korean text should be copied correctly without corruption.

Additional Information

  • Issue does not occur with English text
  • Issue occurs with both /copy and manual selection
  • Issue appears only when the new renderer is enabled
  • Likely related to clipboard encoding or Unicode handling
  • This issue does not occur when using the default renderer (i.e., without setting CLAUDE_CODE_NO_FLICKER). Korean text is copied correctly in that case.
