When text is typed in the input field, the send button does not appear — the microphone icon remains. Messages can still be sent using the Enter key, but the send button never becomes visible.

Description

When text is typed in the input field, the send button does not appear — the microphone icon remains. Messages can still be sent using the Enter key, but the send button never becomes visible.

Steps to Reproduce

  1. Open Claude Code desktop app
  2. Type text in the input field
  3. Observe that the microphone icon remains instead of changing to a send button

Expected Behavior

The microphone icon should change to a send button when text is present in the input field.

Environment

  • Platform: macOS (Darwin 25.2.0)
  • Model: Opus 4.6 1M

extent analysis

TL;DR

The send button not appearing when text is typed in the input field may be due to a UI rendering issue, and checking the CSS or layout code for the input field and send button could provide insight.

Guidance

  • Verify that the input field's text change event is properly triggering the UI update to switch the microphone icon to the send button.
  • Check the CSS styles applied to the send button to ensure it is not being hidden or overlapped by other elements when text is present in the input field.
  • Inspect the layout and rendering of the input field and surrounding elements to identify any potential issues with the UI update mechanism.
  • Test the behavior in different environments or platforms to determine if the issue is specific to macOS or the Opus 4.6 1M model.

Example

No specific code example can be provided without more context, but checking the JavaScript code that handles the input field's text change event and the CSS styles for the send button could look something like:

// Pseudo-code example, actual implementation may vary
inputField.addEventListener('input', () => {
  if (inputField.value !== '') {
    // Code to show send button and hide microphone icon
  }
});

Notes

The exact cause of the issue cannot be determined without more information about the code and implementation details. The suggestions provided are based on common issues that could cause the described behavior.

Recommendation

Apply workaround: Implement a temporary fix to manually trigger the UI update when text is present in the input field, while investigating the root cause of the issue.
