Resolved 💬 2 comments Opened Dec 19, 2025 by erwinh22 Closed Dec 19, 2025

Bug Description

In Claude Code v2.0.73 on Windows, assistant text responses have their first paragraph and last line stripped/blanked in the terminal output. Tool outputs render correctly.

Steps to Reproduce

  1. Start Claude Code v2.0.73 on Windows
  2. Ask Claude to output numbered lines (e.g., "Output lines 1-10")
  3. Observe that Line 10 is missing and intro text appears as blank lines

Expected Behavior

All text content should render completely.

Actual Behavior

  • First text block before content appears as blank lines
  • Last line of each response section is stripped
  • Tool outputs (Bash, Read, etc.) render correctly
  • Only assistant text responses affected

Environment

  • Claude Code: 2.0.73
  • OS: Windows 10/11
  • Terminal: Both PowerShell and Command Prompt affected

Workaround

Downgrading to earlier version resolves the issue.

Additional Context

  • Issue persists with all hooks disabled
  • Issue persists without ccproxy (LiteLLM proxy)
  • Issue persists in both PowerShell and Command Prompt
  • Response content appears correctly in session JSONL logs but not in terminal
