Bug Description
Claude Code UI Jumping and Skipping when using multiple terminals under each other:

In many cases when the text overfloats (when using multiple terminals on the right in visual studio code in a fish shell, (especially when i paste code) the UI jumps up and down (during the the answer of the AI), this only stops when i change the size of the integrated terminal (sometimes). Even worse: sometimes the whole IDE crashes because of this bug.

Same, any resolution? This seriously impacts usability, UI keeps jumping and IDE keeps crashing, especially when pasting and scrolling. Feels very buggy, might have to cancel my max subscription and go back to cursor at this rate considering no reply from anthropic team for 3 weeks...

@claude We need this to be fixed!

@blois More details here:

The bug especially appears when:

  • I start multiple tasks in parallel
  • I align my terminal window to the right vertically of Visual Studio Code
  • I have multiple terminals stacked on top of each other
  • The jumping reduces if I close other terminals so there is enough space for the parallel tasks

This clearly appears to be a spacing issue.

One further update for this issue @claude @blois :

My Visual Studio Code IDE is crashing on a regular basis because of this where I then loose:

  • Partially my history of the agent
  • It crashes all instances of VS Code so that I have sometimes even data loss in other UI's

This makes the usage of multiple parallel sub agents really difficult for me as a user and is not only a visual issue but rather a critical bug that crashes the process and even worse the IDE of the user.

Crazy how @claude team do not care about resolving this. This is such a critical, breaking bug
