Bug

In v2.1.111, click-drag no longer selects text in the terminal. Must hold Shift to select - this was not required 2 days ago on the prior version.

Environment

  • Claude Code: v2.1.111
  • OS: Windows 11
  • Terminal: Windows Terminal

Expected

Click-drag selects text like any normal terminal app.

Actual

Click-drag does nothing. Shift+drag works but is not discoverable.

Related

Locked: #43942, #21386 (feature request for toggle)

Impact

Basic copy/paste UX is broken. This is a regression, not a new feature gap

extent analysis

TL;DR

Reverting to the previous version or waiting for a patch may resolve the click-drag text selection issue in Claude Code v2.1.111.

Guidance

  • The issue seems to be a regression introduced in version v2.1.111, as the functionality worked 2 days ago on the prior version.
  • To verify the issue, try click-dragging in the terminal to see if text selection works without holding Shift.
  • Check the related issues (#43942, #21386) for any updates or workarounds, as they may be connected to this problem.
  • If possible, test the same functionality in a different terminal or environment to isolate the issue.

Notes

The exact cause of the regression is unclear, and without more information, it's difficult to provide a definitive fix. The issue may be specific to the Windows 11 environment or the Windows Terminal.

Recommendation

Apply workaround: Use Shift+drag to select text until a patch or fix is available, as this is the currently known method to achieve text selection in the affected version.
