[Bug] Claude Code Scrolls Uncontrollably in the Terminal, Causing Motion Sickness

Bug Description
When the contents of the terminal exceed a certain length, usually one or two prompts in, the content begins to scroll very quickly from the top to the bottom and back. Aside from the very obvious issue that I cannot read the contents of the terminal or watch what Claude is doing while this is happening, this causes me motion sickness and makes me very dizzy. dfkm
sometimes it can be stopped by zooming out or expanding the space available for the panel/drawer, but since the update to 2.0.x even this "fix" no longer works.
