[Bug] ASCII charts truncated in option selector interface

Resolved 💬 3 comments Opened Apr 17, 2026 by philipdowner Closed Apr 21, 2026

Bug Description
Claude often presents simple ASCII charts that are very helpful when deciding between presented options. If often does this in response to frontend design choices, or architectural discussions. When it presents them in the option/choice selector (interface containing numbered options, followed by "Chat about this") - the charts are very often truncated and unreadable. Each chart displays the first few lines with something to the effect of "{n} more lines}". Nothing I've discovered allows those to be expanded.

Workaround: I very often select "Chat about this", and then give an instruction to re-render the charts inside the normal chat prompt, where they are usable.
