What's Wrong?

Version: 2.1.142 (Claude Code).

Left-clicking on, say, a URL in the output opens the URL in the browser. Option-click copies the text to the clipboard. This is different from the previous behaviour and is not the standard behaviour I'd expect from _Mac Terminal_.

What Should Happen?

The default behaviour of _Mac Terminal_ ought to be retained—unless the user specifies otherwise.
