What's Wrong?

for some reason every time this screen updates, it scrolls the entire chatlog before showing the new text

∴ Thinking…

The user is reporting a UI issue where the chat interface scrolls through the entire conversation history before displaying new responses. This
is a usability/UX issue with Claude Code's interface.

This isn't something I can fix directly since it's a client-side UI behavior in the Claude Code CLI tool itself. I should:

1. Acknowledge the issue
2. Suggest they report it as a bug to the Claude Code team
3. Provide the GitHub issues link for reporting

I shouldn't try to troubleshoot this as a technical problem with their system since it's clearly a Claude Code interface issue.

● That's a UI issue with Claude Code's terminal interface. This is unfortunately not something I can fix from my side - it's how the CLI client handles rendering long conversations.

You can report this issue to the Claude Code team:

• GitHub Issues: https://github.com/anthropics/claude-code/issues

When reporting, mention:

• The scrolling behavior happens on every response update
• It scrolls through the entire chat history before showing new content
• It occurs in long conversations (like this one with extensive output)

In the meantime, you could try:

• Using /clear to start a fresh conversation (though you'd lose context)
• Checking if there are any terminal settings that might affect scrollback behavior
• See if the issue happens in different terminal emulators

What Should Happen?

just show the response text instead of the entire chatlog blowing bye at mach 10
