Description

During long CLI conversations, the scroll position unexpectedly jumps to the top of the conversation. This happens frequently and disrupts the workflow.

Reproduction

  1. Start a Claude Code CLI session
  2. Have a moderately long conversation (multiple exchanges with tool usage)
  3. Scroll up to review earlier content — scroll jumps to the top unexpectedly

Triggers

  • Mouse wheel scrolling — jumps to top
  • Dragging the scrollbar — jumps to top
  • During output generation — viewport jumps to top while Claude is streaming a response

Frequency

Happens frequently once the conversation becomes long enough.

Environment

  • Claude Code version: 2.1.92
  • OS: Windows 11 Home China (10.0.26200)
  • Shell: Git Bash (MSYS2)
  • Terminal: Windows Terminal (default)
