[BUG] /usage text unselectable after Edit tool diff block; prior diff component breaks mouse selection

What's Wrong?
After Claude performs a file edit (displaying an Edit tool diff block with line numbers and highlighted changed lines), within the /usage panel rendered below it becomes impossible to highlight or copy with the mouse. Attempting to click-drag select text in the /usage output either selects nothing or skips the target section entirely. The skipped sections align with the formatting for a similar copy on the screen "underneath" the /usage overlay.
What Should Happen?
The mouse highlighting of content in an overlay window like /usage should not depend on the content on the original window.
Error Messages/Logs
Steps to Reproduce
- Ask Claude to edit an on-disk file — this triggers an Edit tool result showing a diff view with line numbers and colored changed/added lines.
- Run
/usage. - Attempt to mouse-select the whole text in the
/usageoutput.
Result: Text selection is broken. The /usage content cannot be highlighted or copied.
Expected: Text in /usage is normally selectable, as it is when no preceding diff block is present.

Additional Information
I checked some prior similar issues such as:
- #70556: a new selection overlay blocks copying entirely (TUI, Linux)
- #63676: can't selectively copy from assistant responses, only full-message copy works
- #61021: text selection + copy stopped working in VS Code terminal
But they didn't seem to apply, though some were similar.
