When scrolling up in the terminal to read past output, the scroll position sometimes jumps dramatically — as if scrolling hundreds of pages above the actual content. This makes it very difficult to review prior output.

This started happening after a recent update. It did not occur in earlier versions.

Description

When scrolling up in the terminal to read past output, the scroll position sometimes jumps dramatically — as if scrolling hundreds of pages above the actual content. This makes it very difficult to review prior output.

This started happening after a recent update. It did not occur in earlier versions.

Steps to reproduce

  1. Run Claude Code in a session with substantial output (tool results, code, etc.)
  2. Scroll up to review earlier output
  3. Observe that the viewport sometimes jumps far above the actual content area

Expected behavior

Scrolling up should move through the terminal buffer smoothly and predictably.

Actual behavior

The scroll position occasionally jumps dramatically upward, as if the terminal buffer is much larger than the actual content, landing on empty/blank space far above the real output.

Environment

  • Claude Code version: 2.1.108
  • Terminal: Apple Terminal 470
  • macOS: 26.4.1 (Tahoe)
  • Shell: zsh

extent analysis

TL;DR

The issue may be resolved by checking for any recent changes in the terminal or Claude Code configuration that could be causing the scrolling behavior to malfunction.

Guidance

  • Review the changelog for Claude Code version 2.1.108 to see if any changes were made that could affect terminal scrolling behavior.
  • Check the Apple Terminal settings to ensure that there are no new features or configurations that could be interfering with the scrolling.
  • Try running Claude Code in a different terminal emulator to see if the issue is specific to Apple Terminal.
  • Verify that the zsh shell configuration is not causing any issues with the terminal buffer size or scrolling behavior.

Example

No code snippet is provided as the issue seems to be related to the interaction between Claude Code, the terminal, and the shell, and not a specific code problem.

Notes

The issue may be specific to the combination of Claude Code version 2.1.108, Apple Terminal 470, and macOS 26.4.1, so trying different versions or configurations may help isolate the problem.

Recommendation

Apply workaround: Try running Claude Code in a different terminal emulator or checking for any configuration changes that could be causing the issue, as the problem may not be directly related to Claude Code itself.
