Bug Description there's a new display bug in scroll back that just replicates the chat transcript from the current screen buffer, rendering long responses from claude COMPLETELY UNREADABLE.

Environment Info

  • Platform: darwin
  • Terminal: iTerm.app
  • Version: 2.1.116
  • Feedback ID: c767a44a-3172-4762-a4b7-559dd0afd91b

extent analysis

TL;DR

The display bug in scroll back may be resolved by adjusting the terminal settings or buffer size to properly handle long responses.

Guidance

  • Check the terminal's buffer size settings to see if increasing it can prevent the chat transcript from replicating and rendering long responses unreadable.
  • Verify if the issue persists across different terminals or platforms to determine if it's specific to iTerm.app on darwin.
  • Look into any available settings in the application that may control how the chat transcript is displayed in the scroll back, such as word wrapping or line limiting.
  • Consider reporting the issue with more details about the expected behavior and steps to reproduce for further assistance.

Notes

The solution may depend on the specific implementation of the scroll back feature and the terminal's capabilities, which are not fully described in the issue.

Recommendation

Apply workaround: Adjust terminal settings or report the issue for further assistance, as the root cause is likely related to the interaction between the application and the terminal's display settings.
