File Path Handling Failure: Multiple Absolute Paths Cause Processing Hang
Resolved 💬 3 comments Opened Apr 25, 2025 by prinf Closed Nov 29, 2025
Bug Description
When I give it absolute paths to a few files in one message (the files are out of claude working directory) it will not read them but hang on processing the message. Restart is needed to continue working on the project. If I mention only one file per message then it works well
