Environment
- Platform (select one):
- [X] Anthropic API
- [ ] AWS Bedrock
- [ ] Google Vertex AI
- [ ] Other: <!-- specify -->
- Claude CLI version: 1.0.73 (Claude Code)
- Operating System: Arch Linux (x86_64)
- Terminal: tmux pane on alacritty
Bug Description
The screen is always flickering when typing any character into the terminal with a text input that has more than 3 lines and a line with wrapped content. If the prompt is really large, it's really bad to type anything
Steps to Reproduce
- Create a tmux pane where the content of the text input will be wrapped, with at least 3 lines and +5 lines more than the pane height (for example, height is 10, create a prompt that would consume at least 12 lines
- Type anything
Expected Behavior
The screen not to re-print every single character of it's previous state and only update what really changed
Actual Behavior
The screen is re-printing every single line that it had outputted before
