claude-code - 💡(How to fix) Fix TUI duplicates rendered text in scrollback on long sessions (Windows + Linux) [4 comments, 2 participants]

TL;DR

Disabling recaps or reducing the number of tool calls in a session may help mitigate the duplication of rendered text in the scrollback.

Guidance

• Investigate the relationship between the number of tool calls and the duplication issue, as the problem occurs after a long session with many Bash / PowerShell tool calls.
• Try disabling recaps via /config to see if it prevents the duplication of rendered text.
• Verify if the issue persists when using a different terminal emulator or font, to rule out any terminal-specific issues.
• Consider sharing a redacted transcript to further analyze the problem and identify any patterns or triggers for the duplication.

Example

No code snippet is provided as the issue is related to the behavior of the Claude Code application and its interaction with the terminal emulator.

Notes

The issue may be related to the way Claude Code handles the rendering of output and the management of the scrollback buffer. Further investigation is needed to determine the root cause of the problem.

Recommendation

Apply workaround: Disable recaps via /config to see if it mitigates the issue, as it is a potential contributor to the problem and can be easily tested.
