Check all that apply:

  • Keystroke / Input (Tab not working, keystrokes swallowed, input blocked)
  • App Compatibility (bug only in a specific app: Word, Outlook, Mail, browser, etc.)
  • Performance / Crash (slow response, hang, or crash)

Summary

When using cmd-shift-4 or cmd-shift3 to take a screenshot, the CoTabby suggestion does not appear.

Environment

  • macOS version: 26.5
  • Host app: Tested in Obsidian and Chrome and XCode -- seems to be general issue
  • Cotabby engine: Open Source
  • Model name (if Open Source): tabby1-base
  • Accessibility permission granted: yes
  • Input Monitoring permission granted: yes
  • Screen Recording permission granted: yes

Steps to reproduce

  1. Get to the point where CoTabby presents a suggestion
  2. Try to take a screenshot (eg. to report a bug to CoTabby-- :) )
  3. The suggestion will dissapear.

Note: This may be a desired behavior. However it makes it very hard to screenshot bugs.

Expected behavior

Expecting CoTabby suggestion to remain in place.

Actual behavior

CoTabby text dissapears.
