Bug description

Pasting multiline text into the Claude Code prompt no longer works correctly as of v2.1.105. Either:

Newlines in pasted text are lost (text becomes a single line), or
Newlines in the paste buffer trigger message submission (as if Enter was pressed), sending the message prematurely.

This is a regression — downgrading to v2.1.104 restores correct behavior.

Environment

Claude Code: 2.1.105 (broken), 2.1.104 (works)
OS: Windows 10 Enterprise LTSC 2019 (10.0.17763)
Terminal: mintty 3.6.1 (Git Bash / MSYS2, MINGW64)
Shell: bash (MINGW64_NT)
Node.js: v24.14.0
TERM: xterm-256color

Steps to reproduce

Install @anthropic-ai/claude-code@2.1.105 globally via npm
Launch claude from Git Bash (mintty terminal)
Copy multiline text to clipboard (e.g., a code snippet with newlines)
Paste into the Claude Code prompt

Expected: Text is pasted with newlines preserved, waiting for Enter to submit.
Actual: Newlines are either stripped (single line) or cause immediate message submission.

Workaround

npm install -g @anthropic-ai/claude-code@2.1.104

Notes

Likely related to input handling / bracketed paste mode changes introduced in 2.1.105.
The issue may be specific to mintty (which has limited escape sequence support compared to Windows Terminal or ConPTY-based terminals), but was not present in 2.1.104 with the same terminal.

Same here, been driving me crazy for days. Filed details here - that seems to be a dup of this issue: https://github.com/anthropics/claude-code/issues/50076

Not a dup unless downgrading to 2.1.104 helps you too. Would you be able to check if that's the case?
