What's Wrong?

After updating to the latest version of Claude Desktop for MacOS and using Claude Code, any attempt to right click Copy to Clipboard causes an immediate hang, followed by a blank UI and no responsiveness. Remmediation requires Quit and Restart to continue.

What Should Happen?

When clicking on Copy to Clipboard the highlighted text should be copied to MacOS clipboard and the Claude Destkop App should not hang.

Error Messages/Logs

None.

Steps to Reproduce

  1. Select Text from Claude Code transcript from within the Claude Desktop UI
  2. Right click on selected text.
  3. Select Copy to Clipboard

TL;DR

The issue can likely be resolved by reverting to the previous version of Claude Code or waiting for a patch release that addresses the regression.

Guidance

  • Verify that the issue is indeed a regression by testing the same steps in the previous version of Claude Code to confirm that it worked as expected.
  • Try to isolate the problem by testing the Copy to Clipboard functionality with different types of text selections to see if the issue is specific to certain content.
  • If possible, test the same functionality on a different platform or operating system to determine if the issue is macOS-specific.
  • Consider reporting this issue to the Anthropic API or Claude Code support team to request a fix or workaround.

Example

No code snippet is provided as the issue does not involve custom code.

Notes

The lack of error messages or logs makes it difficult to pinpoint the exact cause of the issue. The fact that this is a regression suggests that the problem may be related to changes introduced in the latest version of Claude Code.

Recommendation

Apply workaround: Revert to the previous version of Claude Code until a patch release is available that addresses this regression. This is because the previous version is known to work correctly, and reverting will allow users to continue using the Copy to Clipboard functionality without interruptions.
