Agents view: navigating into an agent and back (←) leaves stale/garbled frame until terminal resize
Open 💬 2 comments Opened Jun 5, 2026 by abdulrahim-tero
Summary
In the multi-agent task list ("agents") view, opening an agent's detail and then returning to the list does only a partial redraw. The previous detail content overlaps the task list, header, and logo art. The TUI does not perform a full repaint on back-navigation, so the list view stays corrupted.
Environment
- Version: 2.1.165
- OS: Windows Terminal + WSL2 (Ubuntu),
6.6.x-microsoft-standard-WSL2
Steps to reproduce
- Have at least 2 background agents/tasks so the agents list view shows entries.
- From the agents list, enter an agent's detail (
→/ enter). - Navigate back to the list (
←). - The list view is rendered garbled — stale detail-frame content overlaps the task rows, header, and logo.
Workaround
- Any terminal resize triggers
SIGWINCH→ full repaint → fixes it. pkill -WINCH -f claude(sends SIGWINCH without moving the window) also fixes it.Ctrl+Ldoes not fix it.
Expected
A full repaint on back-navigation, leaving no stale frame from the agent detail view.
