What's Wrong?
Environment: Zorin OS 18.1 (Linux, kernel 7.0.0-31-generic, Ubuntu 24.04 base), Claude desktop app (Code tab)
Steps to reproduce:
Have an active Claude Code chat with a screenshot already shared/visible in it.
Copy that same screenshot and paste it (Ctrl+V) into KolourPaint.
In KolourPaint, select/adjust a color (both hue and opacity).
Copy the selected color code (Ctrl+C).
Result: Both KolourPaint and the Claude app freeze completely at that point — neither responds to anything anymore. Only a full restart of the Claude app helped (needed it twice).
Positive note: after restarting, no data was lost — the chat/memory correctly restored to exactly where it left off.
Additional info to fill in yourself: whether this reproduces every time with these exact steps, or only sometimes.
