What's Wrong?

Text at the beginning of output lines is being cut off/not displayed. Also seeing random large gaps between prompt and response. Issue persists across Windows Terminal and VS Code terminal.

Tried:

  • Reinstalling CLI (npm uninstall -g @anthropic-ai/claude-code + npm install)
  • Clearing npm cache
  • Running in different terminals (Windows Terminal, VS Code, CMD)
  • System file repair (sfc /scannow found and repaired corrupted files)
  • Rebooting
  • - Tested on a completely different computer (sister's PC) and the bug persists there too

Issue improved slightly after system repair but still present.

System info:

  • OS: Windows 11 Pro (10.0.22621)
  • CLI version: 2.0.73
  • Machine: HP EliteDesk 800 G5 SFF
  • CPU: Intel 6th gen ~3GHz
  • RAM: 16GB
  • Node version: [corre "node -v" y pon lo que salga]

What Should Happen?

Output text should display completely from the beginning of each line, without being cut off. No random large gaps between prompt and response.
