Description
During long interactive sessions, the terminal scrollbar repeatedly jumps to the top, making it difficult to follow the conversation output.
Steps to reproduce
- Start a Claude Code session
- Work through multiple tool calls and responses (extended session with many interactions)
- Observe the terminal scrollbar jumping to the top unpredictably
Expected behavior
The terminal should maintain scroll position at the bottom (most recent output) unless the user manually scrolls up.
Environment
- Claude Code version: 2.1.81
- Platform: Linux (Debian, kernel 6.1.0-44-amd64)
- Shell: bash
- Terminal: standard terminal emulator
