Claude Code text appears garbled and can only be fixed by resizing the terminal window. I am able to reproduce this issue consistently with iTerm2 and Warp.

@dgokcin yes indeed, I am running into the same issue. Resizing the terminal or restarting the session helps but the issue happens frequently enough that claude sometimes just becomes unusable for me.
The same issue occurs for me as well on all versions beyond 2.1.153. Please claude support team investigate and identify what changed after version 2.1.153 that is causing this problem.
This seems better in 2.1.185. Hoping it continues that way.
yeah I think so as well. I have seen tui related changes in the recent release notes. I think they may have patched it 🤞
@dhruvilshah3 the latest version 2.1.186 definitely made the flickering issues a LOT better.
Yes, I haven't seen this issue over the last couple days. Will close this for now.
