Steps to Reproduce

Steps to reproduce:

  1. Start a new Claude Code session
  2. Copy an image to clipboard (e.g. screenshot)
  3. Click in the input field and press Ctrl+V — image pastes correctly
  4. Continue working in the same session
  5. At some point Ctrl+V stops inserting the image — no feedback, nothing happens

Expected: Image pastes from clipboard consistently throughout the session
