What's Wrong?

Description:
When running the /context command, the context information displays briefly (approximately 20 seconds), then the
terminal window automatically scrolls to the top and the context output disappears from view.

Steps to Reproduce:

  1. Start a Claude Code session
  2. Run /context
  3. Observe the context output appearing
  4. Wait approximately 20 seconds
  5. Window scrolls to top and context output is no longer visible

Expected Behavior:
The /context output should remain visible and stable in the terminal, allowing the user to review it without it
disappearing.

Actual Behavior:
The context output appears for ~20 seconds, then the window auto-scrolls to the top and the output disappears.

Environment:

  • OS: Windows (please add your version, e.g., Windows 11)
  • Terminal: (please specify: CMD, PowerShell, Windows Terminal, etc.)
  • Claude Code Version: (run claude --version and paste result)

Additional Context:
Issue is reproducible across multiple sessions.
