Why break this? It was working perfect previously. Especially given that a TUI is not the easiest way to do text entry, I just can't wrap my head around why you want to all of a sudden limit this?

Claude Code actually never supported multiple "long" pastes within a single prompt (short pastes that don't lead to "[Pasted text +.. lines]" are fine). Multiple long pastes would _appear to work_ but fail silently, as Claude Code would keep only the most recent long paste. This warning now informs users of the limitation.
My appologies, had no idea this wasn't working. Makes me wonder all the times I've done it before 😅
adding proper support for multiple long pastes would still be very useful
This feels like a pretty basic limitation of Claude’s code capabilities. Sometimes I need to include multiple sources in my prompts, but I have to combine them externally before pasting them in, which is really awkward.
The good news is that as of v0.2.102, Claude Code now supports pasting in multiple chunks! (Text and/or images, from pasting in image paths)
