Tracking for later — dev-experience papercut, not a prod bug.
What happens
When Claude Code asks a multiple-choice question (the AskUserQuestion picker) during a session, the prompt renders garbled/unreadable in our terminal, so the picker is unusable — we end up rejecting the tool call and answering in plain text.
Environment
- Claude Code 2.1.150
- kitty 1.0.0 (
TERM=xterm-256color)
- macOS 26.3 (arm64)
Notes
- Other interactive prompts (permission prompts, plan approval) render fine in the same terminal — seems specific to the multi-choice question UI.
- Capture a screenshot/recording next time it happens and attach here.
