[Bug] Terminal output truncation: Response text missing from CLI display

Resolved 💬 21 comments Opened Dec 19, 2025 by wynandw87 Closed Dec 19, 2025

Bug Description
A lot of text is missing from claude's responses. The formatting of the text layout is also wrong. If I ask claude to write the response to a .md file then it shows all of the text within the written file - but it does not all appear in the reply within my terminal. Everything worked fine until today - and it worked fine on my claude instances that were still open from yesterday. All the instances of claude that I started today has this issue.

  • Terminal: windows-terminal
  • Version: 2.0.73

Same for me, I'd just installed Claude Code 2.0.73 on Windows using the "Native Install" and got the same issue.

I deleted the exe, installed 2.0.72 using npm and I could then see the messages again.
Looks like 2.0.73 broke rendering

Workaround: just ask Claude to reply in plain text without line breaks (no “Enter”). Works for me until the fix is applied.

this worked for me too. I'll just wait for 2.0.74+ on 2.0.72

Same for me... just started within the last 8 hours. but asking for regular text worked. I am using Sonnet as the model if that matters.

Hope this helps. Updated yesterday 2.0.72 to 2.0.73 all was fine BUT I had never closed my Windows Terminal. Started new Terminal and the effects of 2.0.73 kicked in. A strange side note is that the command /release-notes didn't show 2.0.73.

Also impacted, same version

Hi everyone! I've tried using v2.0.72 as suggested by other users in the comments - it works for me too! The problem is that claude updates automatically to v2.0.73 immediately when you open it. I've found a workaround to keep it on v2.0.72:

  1. First, uninstall claude code via the CLI:

npm uninstall -g @anthropic-ai/claude-code

  1. Then, install v2.0.72 specifically with this command:

npm install -g @anthropic-ai/claude-code@2.0.72

  1. Check the version to ensure it installed v2.0.72:

claude --version

  1. DON'T OPEN CLAUDE CODE YET! You have to set the environment variable to block it from updating (you'll have to do this each time you open the terminal BEFORE you open claude code):

$env:DISABLE_AUTOUPDATER = "1"

  1. Open claude code:

claude

  1. Code to your heart's content!
  1. Check the version after you exit claude to ensure you're still on v2.0.72:

claude --version

FYI I did this on Windows, not sure if the steps are the same on Mac/Linux.

Downgrading it fixed the issue for me. Thanks

missoutlaw · 6 months ago

I have the same angst. Formatting hozed.

leonardschneider · 6 months ago

Downgrading to 2.0.60 in powershell fixed it for me.

& ([scriptblock]::Create((irm https://claude.ai/install.ps1))) 2.0.60
