My favorite is running CC in a screen session. There if I type out a prompt and then just start holding down the backspace key to delete a bunch of characters, at some point they key press refresh rate outruns CC’s brains and it just starts acting like it moved the cursor but didn’t delete anything. It is an embarrassing bug, but one that I suspect wouldn’t be found in automated testing.
Talking about embarrassing bugs, Claude chat (both web and iOS apps) lately tend to lose the user message when there is a network error. This happens every day to me lately. It is frustrating to retype a message from memory, first time you are "in the flow" second time it feels like unjust punishment.
With all the Claude Code in the world how come they don't write good enough tests to catch UI bugs? I have come to the point where I preemptively copy the message in clipboard to prevent retyping.
This is an old bug. I cant believe they haven't fixed it yet. My compliments for the Claude frontend start and end at artifacts.
Ctrl Z usually recovers the missing text, even across page refreshes
If you want to work around this bug, Claude Code supports all the readline shortcuts such as Ctrl-W and Ctrl-U.
Have you tried tmux?
I use tmux, I have this exact same bug in tmux. It's part of why I use OpenCode and not Claude Code.
Thanks!
unfortunately it's buggy in tmux as well. last night I couldn't hit esc after a long, long session as it simply ignored the key. doesn't happen outside of tmux.
