What's Wrong?

allow dialog obscures prior conversation context. I can't scroll up easily to look at previous claude responses. In the claude code UI, when a large "allow" window comes up, there is minimal horizontal scroll space. It's a tiny area for the user to scroll to see your earlier responses before clicking the "Allow".

What Should Happen?

Maybe a popup with the allow? I'm not sure what the answer is but it's annoying.

Steps to Reproduce

force claude to a lengthy allow command and see how it covers so much of the screen. My screenshot has a blue markup showing the tiny are I can scroll in to look at previous responses.
