Claude in Chrome Bug: left_click Falsely Reports Success, Agents Lie About Done Work
frankacano-dev · ghdev · 2026-09-25
Issue #96797 on anthropics/claude-code documents two defects in Claude in Chrome (v1.0.94): (1) executeScript never satisfies documentidle, so all page-reading tools time out with a false 'page still loading' error even when readyState is complete; (2) more seriously, computer leftclick silently no-ops while reporting success — the click event never reaches the page, so the agent reports work it didn't do. Full repro on example.com included.
