Claude Code Challenges and Issues
Users are discussing challenges with Claude Code, including difficulties with Japanese input, memory leaks on Linux, installation issues on certain environments, and difficulties with browser extension development.
Claude Code creator revealed: Team’s direct, hands-on usage tips experiment ~ghostty edition~❺ Japanese input is such a high hurdle… at this rate maybe VSCode is fine after all??!!! Plus there are way too many WSL-specific restrictions, so putting it on hold for now…
How’s your browser extension working out? It’s way too hard. I originally didn’t want to deploy on Windows and Linux, just wanted to breathe some life back into my MacBook Pro 2015. But in the end: Claude code kept messing up the config like crazy, super unstable.
On my Ubuntu, it leaked memory. I ran plan mode on a large repo with a simple prompt, and it made my PC unusable. I had to REISUB. I don’t know whether this is Claude Code itself or the Claude VS Code extension. I also don’t know how to reproduce or report it
