Terminal rendering corruption - banner repeats/overlaps output on Windows/Warp
Resolved 💬 3 comments Opened May 6, 2026 by DaHaiUP Closed Jun 3, 2026
Describe the bug
The Claude Code ASCII art title banner (logo + version info) gets repeatedly printed to the terminal, causing visual corruption where the banner overlaps with normal output text. The issue worsens over time — the longer the session runs, the more the banner duplicates on each command, making the terminal output unreadable.

The banner repeats increasingly — after many commands, it can appear dozens of times per prompt.
Environment:
- OS: Windows 11 Pro 10.0.26200
- Terminal: Warp
- Claude Code version: v2.1.126
- Model: deepseek-v4-pro[1m]
- Shell: bash (Git Bash / MinGW)
Steps to reproduce
- Open Claude Code in Warp terminal on Windows
- Use commands like
/mcprepeatedly - Over time, the ASCII art banner starts duplicating on each render
- Eventually the banner appears multiple times on every prompt, overlapping actual output text
Additional context
The issue seems related to terminal TUI repaint/refresh handling, possibly specific to certain terminal emulators on Windows like Warp.
