Preflight Checklist

  • I have searched existing issues and this hasn't been reported yet
  • This is a single bug report (please file separate reports for different bugs)
  • I am using the latest version of Claude Code

What's Wrong?

It wanted permission to append something to an MD file, but the preview it gave was not scrollable and was too tall to accept. Using the enter key did not accept it. I had to use Ctrl+minus to shrink the view tiny, then click the tiny button, then scrale it back normally. This is the first time I've ever seen this kind of bug.

What Should Happen?

It should have a scrolling window for any "asking permission for prompts" that are larger than the current claude window height.

Error Messages/Logs

Steps to Reproduce

If you have a 12000-token MD file and you ask Claude to make summary changes to many sections it probably would result in this. But you can probably fake it with debug code and just see what happens when that text field is oversized.

extent analysis

TL;DR

The issue can likely be mitigated by modifying the UI to include a scrolling window for permission prompts that exceed the current window height.

Guidance

  • Verify the issue by attempting to reproduce it with a large MD file and summary changes to multiple sections.
  • Consider adding a vertical scrollbar to the permission prompt window to allow users to view and accept large prompts.
  • Investigate the CSS or layout settings for the permission prompt window to determine why it is not resizing or scrolling as expected.
  • Test the issue with different window sizes and screen resolutions to see if it is specific to certain display settings.

Example

No code example is provided as the issue does not specify the exact technology or framework used for the UI.

Notes

The issue may be specific to the Opus Claude model or the Windows platform, and further testing is needed to determine the root cause.

Recommendation

Apply a workaround by modifying the UI to include a scrolling window for permission prompts, as this is likely to mitigate the issue and improve user experience.
