claude-code - 💡(How to fix) Fix `/usage` Ctrl+S silently fails to copy stats screenshot on Linux/X11 [1 participants]

Summary

Pressing Ctrl+S in the /usage stats dialog does not place anything on the system clipboard. The changelog describes Ctrl+S as copying a screenshot of the stats screen to the clipboard ("Improved resolution of stats screenshots copied to clipboard (Ctrl+S) for crisper images", "Stats screenshot (Ctrl+S in /stats) now works in all builds and is 16× faster"), but on Linux/X11 it appears to be a no-op — neither an image nor a text fallback ends up on the clipboard.

There is no user-visible error; the dialog dismisses as if the copy succeeded.

Repro

1. claude → /usage
2. Press Ctrl+S
3. In another shell: xclip -selection clipboard -o -t TARGETS
4. In another shell: xclip -selection clipboard -o

Expected

Either:

• The clipboard TARGETS list contains image/png and pasting into an image-aware app yields the screenshot, or
• A text representation of the stats lands on the clipboard.

Actual

TARGETS lists only text MIME types and no image target:

TARGETS
MULTIPLE
TIMESTAMP
text/plain;charset=UTF-8
text/plain;charset=utf-8
UTF8_STRING
text/plain;charset=ISO-10646-UCS-2
text/unicode
text/plain
STRING

xclip -selection clipboard -o returns empty / a single newline. The clipboard is whatever it was before pressing Ctrl+S — Claude Code did not modify it.

Environment

• Claude Code: 2.1.122
• OS: Arch Linux, kernel 6.19.14-arch1-1 (x86_64)
• Display server: X11 (XDG_SESSION_TYPE=x11, DISPLAY=:0, WAYLAND_DISPLAY unset)
• Shell: zsh
• Terminal emulator: Alacritty
• xclip 0.13 installed; wl-clipboard not installed (not needed on X11)
• TERM=xterm-256color

Notes

• xclip itself works fine for other apps — echo hi | xclip -selection clipboard followed by xclip -selection clipboard -o round-trips correctly, so the system clipboard is functional.
• No screenshot file appears anywhere under ~/.claude/, ~/.cache/, /tmp/, or ~, so this is not "saved to disk in an unexpected location" — the copy step itself isn't happening.
