Claude Code Bug on Windows 11 Can Auto-Submit Permission Prompts on Focus Click
A confirmed bug in Claude Code on Windows 11, filed on July 11, 2026, causes the first mouse click used to refocus the application window to inadvertently submit a pending permission dialog. This means users returning to an idle Claude Code session may unknowingly approve or reject tool-call permissions they never reviewed. In at least one reported case, the unintended rejections were interpreted as deliberate stop commands, repeatedly interrupting an autonomous overnight run. The issue has been acknowledged by maintainers and tagged as a reproducible bug affecting the permissions and terminal UI layers. No official patch has been released yet, and users are advised to use keyboard shortcuts for permission dialogs and ensure the window is focused before interacting with any prompts.
