[BUG] Cowork: Code block copy button not working in a new window (macOS)
Preflight Checklist
- [x] I have searched existing issues and this hasn't been reported yet
- [x] This is a single bug report (please file separate reports for different bugs)
- [x] I am using the latest version of Claude Code
What's Wrong?
The copy button (clipboard icon) on code blocks does not work when the chat is opened in a NEW / separate window (multi-window).
- Clicking the copy button has no effect: nothing is copied, no "Copied!" feedback appears.
- Clipboard contents stay unchanged (Cmd+V pastes nothing / the previous content).
- The button looks clickable but produces no action.
This is essentially the same problem as the previously closed issue #18286, with the key difference that it reproduces specifically in a new (separate) window rather than the main window.
Workaround: manual drag-select + Cmd+C still works.
What Should Happen?
Clicking the copy button should copy the code block contents to the clipboard and show visual feedback (e.g. a "Copied!" tooltip), the same as in the main window.

Steps to Reproduce
- Open a Claude Code / Cowork session in a NEW window (multi-window).
- Ask Claude to generate any code block (e.g. bash commands or Python).
- Click the copy button (clipboard icon) in the top-right corner of the code block.
- Try to paste (Cmd+V) anywhere -> nothing is pasted.
