What's Wrong?
Description
When using Claude Code on Windows, the assistant’s responses are intermittently truncated during streaming output.
Only part of the response is rendered in the terminal, and the remaining text is missing.
This occurs even though the response generation appears to complete normally, and no explicit error is shown.
Expected Behavior
The full response text should be displayed completely and consistently.
Actual Behavior
- The response text is cut off mid-sentence or mid-paragraph.
- The missing portion never appears, even after waiting.
- This happens intermittently but frequently enough to disrupt usage.
Environment
- OS: Windows 10 / Windows 11
- Shell: (e.g. Windows Terminal / PowerShell / CMD — adjust as needed)
- Claude Code version: (please fill in)
- Encoding: UTF-8
- Language: Occurs more frequently with Korean text, but not limited to it
Reproduction Steps
- Run Claude Code in a Windows terminal
- Ask a question that produces a multi-line or long response
- Observe that the output is sometimes truncated during streaming
Additional Notes
- This appears related to streaming output handling on Windows terminals.
- Similar issues have been reported regarding truncation, corruption, and line spacing on Windows.
- Restarting the session does not reliably resolve the issue.
What Should Happen?
Claude’s responses should be displayed fully and correctly in the terminal without any truncation or missing lines.
