Tell HN: Claude mangles XML files with <name> as an XML Tag to <n>
exabrial Sunday, February 22, 2026Claude mangles files with <name> as an XML Tag to <n>
If you you use Claude Desktop, and have it try to edit an XML file containing a tag with <name> , every time the filesystem connector will mange that to <n>.
This is causing simple chat threads to extend much longer than needed and the tool simply isn't working correctly.
It's impossible to get actual support these days, other than report problems on HN. So here we are, in hopes you press that upvote button and maybe Boris might see this.
