Text overflow and word wrapping issue - text cuts off at edge and touches scrollbar

Resolved 💬 2 comments Opened Dec 19, 2025 by MAGOLEINAD Closed Dec 19, 2025

Description

The text output from Claude Code does not wrap properly and gets cut off at the right edge of the terminal. Additionally, the text is positioned too close to the scrollbar with no margin.

Environment

  • OS: Windows (MINGW64_NT-10.0-26200 3.6.3-7674c51e.x86_64)
  • Platform: win32
  • Terminal: Git Bash / MINGW64

Expected Behavior

  • Text should wrap to the next line when reaching the edge
  • There should be proper padding/margin before the scrollbar
  • Long words should break appropriately to prevent horizontal overflow

Actual Behavior

  • Text extends beyond the visible area and gets cut off
  • No word wrapping occurs
  • Text touches the scrollbar with no spacing
  • Users must scroll horizontally to read the full content

Screenshot

User provided a screenshot showing the issue with a long paragraph in Spanish where:

  • Words are cut mid-word at the right edge
  • The text block extends all the way to the scrollbar
  • No automatic line breaks are occurring

Reproduction

  1. Ask Claude Code to generate a long paragraph response
  2. Observe that text doesn't wrap and gets cut off at the edge
  3. Notice text is flush against the scrollbar
