TL;DR

The "Copy message" feature in the Claude desktop app on Windows may have a bug when copying long messages with bullet points, and using "Copy as markdown" works as a potential workaround.

Guidance

  • Verify that the issue is specific to the "Copy message" feature and not a general clipboard issue by trying to copy other text within the app.
  • Test copying shorter messages or messages without bullet points to see if the issue is related to message length or formatting.
  • Try using the "Copy as markdown" feature as a temporary workaround to copy the message, and then convert it to plain text if needed.
  • Check for any updates to the Claude desktop app, as the issue is reported as a regression and may have been fixed in a later version.

Notes

The exact cause of the issue is unclear, but it may be related to the formatting of the message or a bug in the "Copy message" feature.

Recommendation

Apply workaround: Use the "Copy as markdown" feature to copy the message, as it is reported to work correctly.
