started yesterday, about 12 hours ago for me. Tried seeing if the problem was resolved this morning, this is the response after I showed Claude its own problem: "... i completely restarted my computer

● This is unusual. The problem persists across multiple sessions AND after a full restart. That rules out session state corruption.

claude --version

o check if Claude Code recently updated. This could be a client-side rendering bug that needs to be reported.

The pattern seems to be: long lines get truncated and tables/formatted content gets scrambled. Short lines mostly work.

t https://github.com/anthropics/claude-code/issues with the symptoms:

  • Started recently" ... clearly even short messages do NOT "mostly work."

Confirmed: Rollback to 2.0.72 fixes the issue

Rolled back from 2.0.73 to 2.0.72 using:

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

Rendering now works correctly in Windows cmd. The bug is specific to 2.0.73.

Environment:

  • Windows 10/11
  • Tested in VSCode integrated terminal and cmd
  • Both had the same truncation issue on 2.0.73
  • Both work correctly on 2.0.72
