I've also encountered this issue. My current workaround is to downgrade it to 2.0.72.
npm install -g @anthropic-ai/claude-code@2.0.72I've also encountered this issue and migrated to 2.0.72
I'm seeing this issue in 2.0.73

Same. System:
Version: Claude Code v2.0.73
OS: Windows (MINGW64_NT-10.0-26200)
Previous working version: v2.0.72
I also see this issue. Looks like there are many duplicate issues in claude-code repo for this same thing - v2.0.73
It seems necessary to roll back the version until the issue is resolved. If the auto-update feature is enabled, you need to disable it.
export DISABLE_AUTOUPDATER=1Npm:
npm install -g @anthropic-ai/claude-code@2.0.72Native (Specifying the version didn't work. Rolling back with the 'stable' tag defaults to version 2.0.65)
macOS, Linux, WSL:
curl -fsSL https://claude.ai/install.sh | bash -s stableWindows PowerShell:
& ([scriptblock]::Create((irm https://claude.ai/install.ps1))) stableWindows CMD:
curl -fsSL https://claude.ai/install.cmd -o install.cmd && install.cmd stable && del install.cmdSame issue with latest version on Powershell.
same here.

Same issue, impossible to work
Claude Code v2.0.73
Opus 4.5 · Claude Max
I played around with this this morning too.
Console output is broken in:
PowerShell in Windows terminal
CMD in Windows terminal
Git Bash in Windows terminal
Git Bash in Git Bash window
Console output works just fine in:
Ubuntu WSL in Windows terminal
I think it it's a POSIX compliant shell regression in a recent version of Claude. I'm on 2.0.73
same issue on Windows 11 and Claude Code 2.0.73. it's highly annoying and basically destroyed all normal workflow.

Same, in 2.0.73 also
Downgraded to 2.0.71 as a workaround
Same issue in Powershell. Downgraded to 2.0.72. Thanks everyone for the fix
Same thing here, Claude Code is now completely useless, at least when used from PowerShell (both in and outside PowerShell). Please make it a high priority to fix.

Confirmed: downgrading to 2.0.72 fixes the issue.
Also set
DISABLE_AUTOUPDATER=trueenvironment variable to prevent auto-upgrade back to 2.0.73.i have the same issue also

Same. Asked Claude to only output in structured code blocks and seems to work with 2.0.73
We're working on a fix for this - for the meantime, revert to 2.0.72.
EDIT: to prevent auto-updates, set
DISABLE_AUTOUPDATERenv var, see https://code.claude.com/docs/en/settings#environment-variables.Might want to mention how to revert and how to keep it from auto-updating. I reverted and then it updated by itself.
Should be working better in 2.0.74.
same issues.
it seems the developers in Anthropic loves Mac too much.
even /statusline doesnt shows broken terminal for inputs and outputs.
hello, issue is fixed for me on 2.0.74, windows 11 (windows terminal)
It's fixed for me as well. Thanks.
2.0.74 fixed
same issue still not fixed
To anyone still running into this - please ensure you're running 2.0.74 or higher. If you're still seeing this, please post info requested in https://github.com/anthropics/claude-code/issues/15034 to help us investigate the particular terminal / shell configurations that still have this issue.
