What's Wrong?

In linux, using rxvt-unicode and claude with tui: fullscreen, when i select text, it copies the text, but if i keep selecting text, it just append. After hours of working, by copy&paster buffer can have multiple pages of copied text. selecting text in any other app will copy that text only, but returning to claude and selecting one word, it will add again everything ever selected in claude. If i do shift+mouse select, it works normally, using the X11 Primary buffer . With normal TUI, the X11 Primary buffer also works fine

What Should Happen?

if i select a text, it should clear existent data in claude copy&paste buffer and replace with the select text, not append to it
