Description
Claude Code continuously scrolls to the bottom during thinking/long-running operations when any non-terminal application is tiled on the same workspace using AeroSpace tiling window manager.
Steps to reproduce
- Use AeroSpace tiling window manager on macOS
- Tile Ghostty (running Claude Code) next to any non-terminal app (Safari, Chrome, Clock, etc.) on the same workspace
- Start a Claude Code operation that involves thinking
- Claude Code scrolls to the bottom repeatedly
Expected behavior
Claude Code should maintain scroll position during thinking.
Actual behavior
Claude Code continuously scrolls to the bottom when any non-terminal app is on the same workspace.
Debugging done
- Not a resize event:
stty sizeoutput remains constant during the scrolling - Not a focus event:
aerospace list-windows --focusedstays on Ghostty throughout - Does not happen when Claude Code is the only app on the workspace
- Does not happen in a plain shell (non-Claude Code) tiled next to a browser
- Happens with any non-terminal app (Safari, Chrome, Clock) — not browser-specific
Environment
- macOS 26 (Darwin 25.2.0)
- Ghostty terminal
- AeroSpace tiling window manager
- Claude Code (latest)
