Performance Degradation in Claude VSCode Extension with Long Prompts

Resolved 💬 9 comments Opened Jun 1, 2025 by musomaps Closed Feb 10, 2026

Bug Description
Once a prompt starts to get fairly long - about 20 lines or so - claude code starts glitching out (scrolling through the entire conversation once for EVERY time a single keyboard-input is made into the terminal. typing words makes this refresh over and over and over. Sometimes the problem goes away and the prompt is stable again, but other times it had caused VScode to completely shutdown without wrning - causing me to lose work and the whole conversation with claude - meaning i have to start up the context allll over again. It's a huge problem :(
