Been having the same/similar issue for a few weeks. Running claude in macOS terminal and can't scroll up claude output at all. Scrolling up just shows the terminal output from before starting claude. I can only see one full screen height's worth of claude output and dont have any way to see longer responses in full.
I have the same problem in my VSCode. My only workaround right now is to use the Page Up and Page Down keys, it works for navigating, but it's not as convenient as the scrolling we used to have.
I think I found the source of the problem — it's the /tui fullscreen command, and by pressing Ctrl+O you can scroll normally. I found this page that talks about it a bit: https://code.claude.com/docs/en/fullscreen
Ctrl+O worked for me, thanks!
