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
- Start Claude Code v2.0.73 on Windows
- Ask Claude to output numbered lines (e.g., "Output lines 1-10")
- 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
