What's Wrong?

When in plan mode and you ask anything that prompts a question from Claude about which visual you like more, such as "In ASCII show visually how X would show vs Y" or sometimes even broader "In ASCII how does your proposed feature X visually show?" it can come back with a question to choose from 2 or 3 styles.
You can then select each one and on the right side it - _is supposed to_ - render the differences so the user can choose. However, it only renders the first ~7 lines of the UI. The rest are shown as hidden. I find that in ~80% of the cases you simply don't see enough to make a decision, so it's incredibly useless and frustrating. Often forcing me to just choose whatever "sounds best" in text. Follow-up with "show me properly, full ASCII mocks and differences" is only possible if you hit Esc or press "Talk about it" when that option arises in a later follow-up.

What Should Happen?

It should render fully and you should be able to scroll down to analyze the different UI mocks it presents.
