Call for commenting on GitHub about a Claude Code inaccessibility issue

Dear all, If you have tried Claude Code, you may have noticed that it does not use the native cursor of the terminal but a self-drawn cursor that screen readers cannot easily track. The consequence is that you see your cursor stuck at the bottom of the screen while you are typing a prompt or editing it, so you have no clue where exactly the cursor is in the prompt's text. This had already been reported three times as issues on Anthropic's GitHub repository without any success. The three issues got closed and then locked, although one was for Linux and the two others were for macOS, showing that the problem is not specific to one operating system. Last Friday I opened a fourth issue, at this URL: https://github.com/anthropics/claude-code/issues/36765 I am trying to spread the word so that all of you who have a GitHub account and care can comment, with the hope that this will, this time, get a bit more attention from Anthropic. It is worth pointing out that Windows is affected too, whether one uses NVDA, Jaws or Narrator. Please pass on the word and let's see whether by joining forces we manage to make this change. Of course, by joining forces I mean commenting on the issue. thanks!
