Bug Report
Environment: Claude Code VS Code Extension
---
Bug 1 — Conversation Overlap on Large Markdown Paste
When a large markdown block is pasted into the chat, bubbles visually overlap each other. Text from one bubble renders on top of the next message, making the conversation unreadable.
Bug 2 — No Collapsible 'Show more' on Long Chat Bubbles
Long chat bubbles (especially with markdown — headers, bullets, code blocks) have no collapse affordance. The result is an extremely long scroll with no way to minimize past responses. The web UI has a 'Show more / Show less' pattern — the VS Code extension is missing this entirely.

Steps to Reproduce
- Open Claude Code in VS Code
- Paste a large markdown text block (50+ lines with headers, bullets, code blocks)
- Observe chat bubbles overlapping in the conversation view
- Notice there is no 'Show more' / collapse option on long bubbles
---
Expected Behavior
- Bubbles should be properly spaced with no visual overlap
- Long content should have a 'Show more' collapse affordance (consistent with web UI)
---
Impact
- Conversation becomes unreadable after large pastes
- No way to navigate past long responses without excessive scrolling
- Degrades UX significantly for power users working with markdown-heavy content
