Claude Code renders the same banner multiple times in the terminal

Resolved 💬 9 comments Opened Apr 21, 2026 by Jack-261108 Closed Jun 8, 2026

Summary

Claude Code is unexpectedly rendering the same banner multiple times in the terminal.

Instead of showing a single banner, the UI repeats the same block over and over, stacking vertically and filling a large portion of the terminal window.

Steps to reproduce

  1. Open Claude Code in the terminal
  2. Start a session in a working directory (for example ~/ai)
  3. Observe the startup/status banner area
  4. In some cases, the same banner is rendered repeatedly many times

Expected behavior

Claude Code should render the banner only once.

Actual behavior

The same banner is rendered repeatedly multiple times.

Environment

  • Claude Code version: 2.1.104
  • OS: macOS
  • Shell: zsh

Additional context

This appears to be a terminal UI rendering issue rather than expected repeated output.
A screenshot is available and can be provided if needed.
