Not a bug, pasting images into the terminal is not supported, do not do this, that's not what the terminal is for or how it is used. The standard way is to pass the path of a file to the program as a runtime parameter or in some config file.

Terminals are not alternative web browsers/graphical application sandboxes.

Sixel came out in the 80's as a way to print on dot matrix printers. If your terminal doesn't support that yet, you might want to look into updating your software.

If it ain't broke, don't fix it

I really like sixel as well because I do not want to open the image in an IDE when sshed into a remote server.

So basically don't use Claude Code is your suggestion. Not very helpful, guy.

I think you've misunderstood, guy.

pass the url (local or otherwise) of the image to Claude code. Otherwise it's not the terminal's problem, please don't pressure Microsoft to introduce an attack vector to wsl for slop's sake.

The image in my clipboard doesn't have an url.

It could if it was in a file, which is a thing that you control. Take charge of your destiny.

[TurdF3rguson]

Right, I could paste my clipboard which takes 1 second and zero cognitive load or I can do your suggestion 100x per day and drive myself crazy. No thanks.

Just have Claude vibe you up a GUI that does it in one click with only 0.1 cognitive load.
