What's Wrong?

It wanted permission to append something to an MD file, but the preview it gave was not scrollable and was too tall to accept. Using the enter key did not accept it. I had to use Ctrl+minus to shrink the view tiny, then click the tiny button, then scrale it back normally. This is the first time I've ever seen this kind of bug.

What Should Happen?

It should have a scrolling window for any "asking permission for prompts" that are larger than the current claude window height.

Steps to Reproduce

If you have a 12000-token MD file and you ask Claude to make summary changes to many sections it probably would result in this. But you can probably fake it with debug code and just see what happens when that text field is oversized.
