What's Wrong?

When using Claude Code desktop app, when I try to highlight and copy the text thats within the CC desktop app's terminal I am no longer able to highlight any of the text.

What Should Happen?

I should be able to highlight the text and copy it so I can pass it into the claude prompt. This was working fine in earlier versions of the app.
