- Claude CLI version: 1.0.62 (Claude Code)
- Operating System: macOS 26 beta

Bug Description
When giving claude code a full file path, whether copy pasting or drag and dropping, it always gets converted to an image and claude code cannot see the file path, just the image. Typing the file path by hand seems to fix the bug, but gets annoying very fast.
Steps to Reproduce
- Open claude code
- Copy and paste (or drag and drop) a file or folder path
- It will get converted to an image
Expected Behavior
The file path being properly inputted for claude code
Actual Behavior
The file path being converted to an image which claude code can see the image, but not the file path
