Custom status line flickers when pasting text

Resolved 💬 4 comments Opened Mar 4, 2026 by ykdojo Closed Apr 16, 2026

Custom status line flickers/re-renders when pasting (Cmd+V) text into the input box, making the UI feel janky.

Not an issue in 2.1.32. Present in 2.1.68 (not sure which version introduced it).

Steps to reproduce

  1. Configure a custom status line in ~/.claude/settings.json
  2. Start Claude Code (2.1.68)
  3. Cmd+V to paste text into the input box
  4. Observe status line flickering during the paste

Expected behavior

Status line should remain stable during paste, like it does in 2.1.32.

Environment

  • macOS 15.6.1
  • Claude Code 2.1.68
  • Terminal: Apple Terminal
