"Jump to bottom ↓" included in text selection/copy in fullscreen mode

Description
When selecting text in the terminal output and copying (Cmd+C), the "Jump to bottom ↓" UI element is included in the copied text. This pollutes the clipboard with UI chrome that shouldn't be part of the selection.
Steps to reproduce
- Run Claude Code with flicker-free alt-screen rendering enabled (
CLAUDE_CODE_NO_FLICKER=1) - Scroll up in the output
- Select any text with mouse
- Copy with Cmd+C
- Paste — "Jump to bottom ↓" is included in the pasted text
Expected behavior
The "Jump to bottom ↓" button should be excluded from text selection, e.g. via CSS user-select: none or equivalent terminal rendering approach.
Environment
- Claude Code version: 2.1.96
- Rendering: flicker-free alt-screen (
CLAUDE_CODE_NO_FLICKER=1) - Terminals: iTerm2, tmux (reproduces in both)
- OS: macOS 15.4 (Darwin 25.4.0)
Notes
This does not appear to be terminal-specific since it reproduces across both iTerm2 and tmux. Likely in the alt-screen renderer's "Jump to bottom" overlay.
