Bug Description
Envitonment: OS X / iTerm2 / Zellij.
Problem: UI input is flashing on each keystroke and same is happening during the 'thinking' when Claude is refreshing the output. Doesn't happen without Zellij, so I guess, it is issue only in Zellij (though not sure whose bug it is).
Environment Info
- Platform: macos
- Terminal: iTerm.app
- Version: 0.2.35

This happens randomly to me in Kitty terminal too.
This happens for me in Ghostty with tmux.
Randomly seeing this in tmux inside Kitty
upgrading zellij solved this for me (0.40.1 -> 0.43.1)
Not seeing it in latest version
