Research direction

Search the repo for AskUserQuestion to find the card component rendered above the composer, then look for the click/drag handling or CSS (user-select, onMouseDown preventDefault) that blocks selection — compare it with how ordinary timeline messages allow selection. Reproduce with the steps in the issue (2+ options) and check related issues #5454, #15517, #14237 for pointers to the same component. Done when question and option text can be drag-selected and Cmd+C copies it, while clicking an option still picks that option.

Description

bug via-triage

Version: T3 Code Nightly 0.0.46-nightly.20261006.2735, macOS desktop, Claude Agent provider

What happens
When an agent asks a question through AskUserQuestion, the card that appears above the composer shows the question and the option labels and descriptions. None of that text can be selected. Click-dragging does nothing, and Cmd+C copies nothing. The only way to get the text out is a screenshot.

Why it matters
These cards often contain the very thing you need to paste somewhere else: a ticket ID, a command, a path, or the agent's summary of what it is about to do. Ordinary assistant messages in the timeline can be selected; question cards are the one place where they can't.

Steps to reproduce

  1. In a Claude thread, ask the agent to call AskUserQuestion with a question and 2+ options.
  2. When the card appears, try to select the question text or an option description with the mouse.
  3. Try Cmd+C.

Expected: the question and option text can be selected and copied like any other message text (clicking an option can still select it; dragging should select text).
Actual: no selection is possible and nothing is copied.
