Summary
With "tui": "fullscreen", assistant text emitted in a turn continuation after the user answers an AskUserQuestion is not rendered — the transcript view jumps from the "User answered Claude's questions" block straight to the next tool-call summary and question box. The prose between them (which can be the entire explanation a question depends on) is silently invisible to the user.
Environment
- Claude Code 2.1.226
- macOS (Darwin 25.5.0), ghostty terminal
"tui": "fullscreen"in~/.claude/settings.json- Model: claude-fable-5
Repro
- Set
"tui": "fullscreen". - Have the assistant ask something with
AskUserQuestion; answer it. - In the same turn continuation, the assistant emits: (a) a text block, (b) one or more tool calls (e.g. Write), (c) another text block, (d) another
AskUserQuestion. - Observed: neither text block renders. The screen shows the answered-question block, the tool-call summaries ("Wrote 2 memories"), then the next question UI.
- Expected: the text blocks render like assistant text in any other turn.
Notes
- Assistant text in turns triggered by other events (e.g. incoming teammate messages in an agent-teams session) renders normally in the same session — the drop is specific to post-
AskUserQuestion-answer continuations. - Hit repeatedly in one session (multi-question workflow): the user experienced it as "questions keep appearing with no context," since every explanation written between an answer and the next question vanished.
- Session had
CLAUDE_CODE_EXPERIMENTAL_AGENT_TEAMS=1set, in case relevant. - No supacode/OSC hooks active at the time (
SUPACODE_SURFACE_IDunset; the only PreToolUse hooks matchingAskUserQuestionno-op without it).
