Preflight Checklist

  • I have searched existing issues and this hasn't been reported yet
  • This is a single bug report (please file separate reports for different bugs)
  • I am using the latest version of Claude Code

What's Wrong?

Description

Pasting the authentication code into the claude login prompt is broken starting from version 2.1.105. Both Ctrl+V and right-click paste do nothing — the input field remains empty and the cursor doesn't move. Manual character-by-character typing still works. Downgrading to 2.1.104 restores paste functionality immediately.

Environment

  • OS: Windows 11 + WSL2 (6.6.87.2-microsoft-standard-WSL2)
  • Terminal: Windows Terminal 1.23.20211.0
  • Shell: bash (xterm-256color)
  • Affected versions: 2.1.105, 2.1.107
  • Working version: 2.1.104

Steps to Reproduce

  1. Run claude login
  2. Complete browser authentication and copy the generated code
  3. Attempt to paste the code into the terminal prompt via Ctrl+V or right-click
  4. Nothing is entered — field stays empty

Expected Behavior

The copied code is pasted into the input field, same as in 2.1.104.

Actual Behavior

Both Ctrl+V and right-click paste are silently ignored. Manual typing is the only way to enter the code.

Additional Notes

  • Paste works normally everywhere else in the same terminal session (e.g. the main Claude Code conversation UI)
  • The issue is confirmed to be a Claude Code regression, not a terminal configuration issue:
    • Setting "bracketedPaste": false in Windows Terminal had no effect
    • WSL2 clipboard bridge (clip.exe) is functioning correctly — powershell.exe -command "Get-Clipboard" returns the expected value from within WSL2
    • Switching the symlink at ~/.local/bin/claude back to 2.1.104 fixes the issue without any other changes

Workaround

Downgrade to 2.1.104 (binary is still present after auto-update) ln -sf ~/.local/share/claude/versions/2.1.104 ~/.local/bin/claude

What Should Happen?

Claude should have users paste code for login

Error Messages/Logs

None

Steps to Reproduce

Just enter the '/login' in the latest version (2.1.105 or 2.1.107), and try to paste the code. It would not work.

extent analysis

TL;DR

Downgrade to version 2.1.104 to restore paste functionality in the Claude login prompt.

Guidance

  • The issue is confirmed to be a Claude Code regression, not a terminal configuration issue, as evidenced by the fact that downgrading to 2.1.104 fixes the issue.
  • To verify the issue, run claude login and attempt to paste the authentication code into the terminal prompt via Ctrl+V or right-click.
  • The provided workaround of downgrading to 2.1.104 using ln -sf ~/.local/share/claude/versions/2.1.104 ~/.local/bin/claude can be used to mitigate the issue.
  • Further investigation into the changes between versions 2.1.104 and 2.1.105 may be necessary to identify the root cause of the regression.

Notes

The issue appears to be specific to the Claude login prompt and does not affect other areas of the application where paste functionality is available.

Recommendation

Apply the workaround by downgrading to version 2.1.104, as it is a confirmed fix for the issue and allows users to paste the authentication code into the login prompt.
