What's Wrong?

When using Claude Code in Git Bash (MINGW64_NT-10.0-26100), multi-paragraph responses with blank lines render incorrectly - text fragments or displays inconsistently. Single continuous text blocks without blank lines render correctly.

Claude and I have come to the conclusion that the most likely culprit is list formatting. I'm sure there are other cases where this mixup could happen though.

What Should Happen?

Full text response should render correctly with list formatting.
