What's Wrong?

Since a recent update of the Claude Code VS Code extension, interactive questions from Claude (confirmations, multiple-choice prompts) are no longer presented with clickable buttons. Instead, the question is written as plain text and expects a typed response.

Previously, these prompts appeared with clickable button options in the chat panel.

What Should Happen?

Questions with a defined set of options (yes/no, multiple choice, confirmations) should be presented as clickable buttons in the chat UI, as in previous versions.

TL;DR

  • The issue may be resolved by updating the Claude Code VS Code extension to a version that reinstates the clickable button functionality for interactive questions.

Guidance

  • Verify that the issue persists across different tasks and prompts to ensure it's not specific to a particular scenario.
  • Check the extension's settings or configuration to see if there's an option to toggle the display of clickable buttons for interactive questions.
  • If the issue is confirmed to be a regression, consider reaching out to the developers or waiting for a patch that addresses this specific problem.
  • Test the extension on a different platform or operating system to determine if the issue is environment-specific.

Notes

  • The lack of error messages or logs makes it difficult to pinpoint the exact cause of the issue.
  • Without knowing the last working version, it's challenging to determine what change introduced this regression.

Recommendation

  • Apply workaround: Wait for a patch or update from the developers, as the issue is confirmed to be a regression and the exact cause is unknown.
