Running claude-code version 2.0.0 (Claude Code) using kitty terminal v0.43.
You can notice the term codes [39m[7m being shown when moving the cursor in the ultrathink text while writing a prompt.
Issue it not related to kitty terminal, same thing happens in ghostty or any other terminal. the $TERM is xterm-256color
What Should Happen?
These term codes should be escaped instead of being shown literally.
