What's Wrong?

Claude Code Information

  • Installation type: Standalone binary (non-npm, macOS)
  • Version: 2.1.104 (Claude Code)
  • OS: macOS

Describe the bug
The built-in Glob tool incorrectly inserts unnecessary redundant spaces when displaying filenames that contain:

  • Chinese characters
  • Numbers
  • Hyphens (-)

This only happens in the display output; file matching works correctly. The actual filenames on disk do NOT have these extra spaces.

What Should Happen?

To Reproduce

  1. Create files like these:
  • 原始数据/2026年3月指标.xlsx
  • 原始数据/报表装维-202603.xlsx
  • 数据-2025-测试.xlsx
  1. Run:

``
claude -p "Glob **/*.xlsx"
``

Error Messages/Logs

**Expected behavior**
File paths should be displayed **exactly as they are stored on disk**, without extra spaces.

**Actual behavior**
The output automatically adds wrong spaces:

1. `原始数据/2026 年 3 月指标.xlsx`
2. `原始数据/报表装维 - 202603.xlsx`
3. `数据 - 2025 - 测试.xlsx`

Steps to Reproduce

Verification

  • Running ls shows real filenames do NOT contain these spaces.
  • Pure English filenames work correctly.
  • This is a text rendering / tokenization bug in CJK & symbol handling.
