Bug Report: Response content renders as blank in terminal
Version
2.0.73
OS
Windows 10/11
Description
Certain response content appears as blank/empty space in the terminal output. The content is generated by Claude but not displayed to the user.
Affected content types (suspected)
⦁ Markdown tables
⦁ Possibly bullet lists or formatted text blocks
⦁ URLs or hyperlinks
Steps to reproduce
- Start Claude Code CLI
- Ask a question that triggers a table response (e.g., version comparison)
- Observe that the table area renders as empty/blank space
- The text before and after the blank area renders normally
Expected behavior
All response content should render visibly in the terminal.
Actual behavior
Some content blocks appear as blank rectangles. Text immediately before and after these blocks renders correctly, but the formatted content (tables, lists) is invisible.
Additional context
⦁ The blank areas take up vertical space, suggesting content IS being generated
⦁ Only certain formatted elements seem affected
⦁ Plain text responses render correctly

What Should Happen?
All response content should render visibly in the terminal.

Steps to Reproduce
