Bug description
Pressing the Tab key in Claude Code Desktop app causes the app to crash.
It seems Tab triggers autocomplete and floods the input with a large amount of data,
causing macOS to force-quit the app.
Steps to reproduce
- Open Claude Code Desktop app
- Open a session
- Press the Tab key
Expected behavior
Tab key should work normally (or do nothing).
Actual behavior
App crashes immediately after pressing Tab.
Environment
- Claude Desktop version: 1.8089.1
- macOS: darwin 24.5.0
- Machine: Mac (Apple Silicon)
