[BUG] Korean text causes background shading overflow after prompt submission

What's Wrong?
When submitting prompts containing Korean (CJK) characters, the background shading extends beyond the actual text boundaries. The gray highlight "overflows" past where the text ends, and the overflow amount is proportional to the number of Korean characters.
This is a post-submission display rendering issue, not an IME input composition issue.

What Should Happen?
Background shading should match the exact display width of the text. Lines containing Korean characters should render with the same precision as English-only lines.
Error Messages/Logs
No error messages - this is a visual rendering bug only.
Steps to Reproduce
- Open Claude Code CLI in terminal
- Type a prompt containing Korean text:
English text
한글 텍스트
- Press Enter to submit
- Observe: The line with Korean text ("한글 텍스트") has gray shading extending beyond the text
Note: The bug is visible on lines containing Korean characters. English-only lines display correctly.
