What's Wrong?
Description
Claude Code v2.1.150 does not allow selecting text outside of the current screen.
Prior version (v2.1.148) allowed selecting text outside the current screen by scrolling while selecting — either by mouse drag, or via Windows Terminal's mark mode (Ctrl+Shift+M).
Actual
Selection is confined to the currently visible screen; the view does not scroll while selecting.
Environment
- Claude Code: v2.1.150 (regressed from v2.1.148)
- Terminal: Windows Terminal
- OS: Windows + WSL2 (Linux 6.6.114.1-microsoft-standard-WSL2)
Workarounds tried
CLAUDE_CODE_DISABLE_MOUSE=1— does not allow to select outside of screen.CLAUDE_CODE_DISABLE_MOUSE_CLICKS=1— allows Claude Code scrolling by mouse wheel, but does not allow Ctrl+Shift+M mark-mode scroll-extension behavior that Windows Terminal has.- Holding Shift while dragging — bypasses mouse capture by Claude Code, which prevents Claude Code screen scrolling.

Possibly related to #27995, #21386.
What Should Happen?
Selection extends into the scrollback as the view scrolls (worked in v2.1.148).
