Bug Description
For several weeks, I've been experiencing this issue: when using Claude Code and Claude decides to use bash commands or when I ask it to do so, it shows me the full prompt (a very long one) of the bash tool. See image:

I even uninstalled (uninstall -g @anthropic-ai/claude-code) and reinstalled (npm install -g @anthropic-ai/claude-code) Claude Code and the same issue persists.
Steps to Reproduce
- Open claude code with
claude - Ask claude to use some bash commands
Expected Behavior
- Only the bash command should appear with approval request.
Actual Behavior
- The full prompt of the bash tool appears along with the approval request at the bottom. I have to scroll up several times to see the command (see image above, this happens to me all the time).
