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

  1. Open Claude Code in VS Code
  2. Paste a large markdown text block (50+ lines with headers, bullets, code blocks)
  3. Observe chat bubbles overlapping in the conversation view
  4. 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
