What's Wrong?

After i press enter, my prompt is displayed as bright white text on slightly less bright white background. Its virtually invisible now. Running on ubuntu 24.04 in native terminal, not vscode. Claude code is version 2.01

I have not altered the default colour scheme of my terminal in any way. Not dark mode etc.

What Should Happen?

after i press enter, the words i typed should be visible on the screen. Not displayed as bright white on slightly less bright white.
