Terminal Jumps Unexpectedly To the Beginning Of The Conversation During Input with Long Buffer

Open marwan-tanager opened this issue 9 months ago • 10 comments

Bug Description Sometimes (especially with long conversation history in the terminal buffer, when I start typing or run a command from the input field, claude jumps to the start of the buffer and scrolls until the end - it's like the effect of catting a very large file in the terminal and watching the terminal scanning through the entire file until the end - extermely annoying. Not sure if this is relevant but I'm using claude inside a tmux session running in kitty terminal emulator.

Environment Info

  • Platform: macos
  • Terminal: tmux
  • Version: 0.2.100
  • Feedback ID: 0f659b0e-4fc7-474f-88db-fbf830fbc334

Would appreciate if you can prioritize this bug because it's becoming unbearable. Thanks!

same, using iterm2 on macos, so I would assume this is terminal independent.

Only option I have is to close and start fresh.

how can this still occur after months ??? incredible that anthropic does not seem to be able to fix it ...

Unbearable amounts of jumps, almost makes it unusable.

Environment:

  • VS Code - Insiders Version: 1.102.0
  • Apple M2 Pro with MacOS Sequoia 15.6
  • claude --version = 0.2.14
