[BUG] Terminal gets corrupted, or rewritten over time - impossible to follow what happened. Deletes my messages.
Preflight Checklist
- [x] I have searched existing issues and this hasn't been reported yet
- [x] This is a single bug report (please file separate reports for different bugs)
- [x] I am using the latest version of Claude Code
What's Wrong?
When I use Claude Code in any Windows terminal (cmd, pwsh), after a while (no compact required to reach this state), the lines become corrupted, as if several lines were trying to be written atop of each other. Also a lot of times the cli history visually changes. My messages get removed, Claude's messages get altered. According to Claude, the .json conversation history remains correct, so it seems to be a cli display bug that was introduced recently, approx 7-21 days ago.
What Should Happen?
CLI should retain history AS IT WAS WRITTEN.
Error Messages/Logs
No errors...Steps to Reproduce
- Update to latest version of Claude Code CLI, and use it in WIndows 11 terminal (cmd, or pwsh)
- Start working on coding tasks that require Bash scripts
- Have a lot of back and forth (but still nowhere near the limit of compacting)
- Observe that the CLI visual history does not match what was actually said and done by both parties

Additional Information
I have noticed this when I switched from Working from home to in-office which was a different computer, so at first I thought it was devide-related, but then when I went home and continued working from home I observed the same, so unfortunately this is not a device-bound issue.
