Environment

  • Claude Code 2.1.162, desktop app on macOS (Darwin 25.5.0)
  • Plan mode session using the plan-file + ExitPlanMode review flow

Issue 1 — plan text not selectable/copyable
In the plan review pane shown on ExitPlanMode, text cannot be selected or copied. Workaround: open the plan file from disk.

Issue 2 — comment box renders and accepts input while inert
After a plan-approval request is rejected (or no approval request is pending), the review pane still shows the comment box. It accepts typed input, but submitting does nothing — no error, and nothing is delivered to the model. Comments only function while an ExitPlanMode approval request is actively pending, so feedback typed outside that window is silently lost.

Steps to reproduce

  1. Enter plan mode; have the model write a plan file and call ExitPlanMode.
  2. Reject the approval with a comment — this works; the comment is delivered.
  3. With no approval request pending, type another comment in the still-visible box and submit.
  4. Nothing happens; the comment is never delivered.

Expected

  • Plan text is selectable and copyable in the review pane.
  • The comment box either submits as a normal chat message when no approval is pending, or is disabled/hidden so it can't silently eat input.

Impact
User feedback is silently dropped, and plan content can't be copied for use elsewhere.
