What's Wrong?

Previously when I'd chat with Claude Code in the desktop app, you'd be able to easily click to copy the response. This seems to have been lost with the most recent update

What Should Happen?

Button to the left of the first line of test on the reply would be visible on hover to copy the entire reply to paste elsewhere

TL;DR

The "copy reply" button is no longer visible on hover in the desktop app, and a potential fix would involve re-enabling or re-implementing this feature.

Guidance

  • Verify that the issue persists across different messages and conversations to rule out any conversation-specific bugs.
  • Check the app's settings or preferences to see if there's an option to toggle the "copy reply" button's visibility.
  • Test the app on a different platform or operating system to determine if the issue is macOS-specific.
  • Review the release notes for version 1.2581.0 to see if the removal of the "copy reply" button was an intentional change.

Notes

The lack of error messages or logs makes it difficult to pinpoint the exact cause of the issue. Additionally, without knowing the previous working version, it's challenging to identify what changed and when.

Recommendation

Apply workaround: Since the "copy reply" button was removed in a recent update, a potential workaround could be to select and copy the entire reply text manually until a fix is implemented.
