| > The UI flickers rapidly in some cases It's the worst experience in tmux! They lectured us about how the roots of the problem go deep, but I don't have this issue with any other CLI agent tool like Codex. |

| The VSCode terminal seems buggy with complex TUI applications in my experience; I had to use the Gemini CLI in a separate terminal because it was brutally slow in the VSC terminal. That being said, this isn't a huge issue for CC - you can just use the extension, which offers a similar experience. |

| They have a thread on that. https://x.com/trq212/status/2001439019713073626 I don't have that problem using it on iTerm2 however. I also don't use Tmux with it. |

| Same thing happens to me in long enough sessions in xterm. Anecdotally it's pretty much guaranteed if I continue a session close to the point of context compacting, or if the context suddenly expands with some tool call. Edit: for a while I thought this was by design since it was a very visceral / graphical way to feel that you're hitting the edge of context and should probably end the session. If I get to the flicker point I generally start a new session. The flicker point always happens though from what I have observed. |

| That one's definitely annoying, but I suspect that's due to some bad initial design choices (React for a terminal app!) and I think it's definitely better than it used to be. |

| Perhaps it’s a bug in the VS code terminal? I don’t see anything like this in Kitty. |

| Are you sure it's _not_ VS Code at issue here? I haven't seen this in Ghostty. |

| ▲ | 0x500x79 2 days ago | parent | next [-] | | This is a common problem and you can find reports of it all over X, including from some influencers. Even outside of VSCode. | | |
| ▲ | coldtea 2 days ago | parent [-] | | Never seen it on iTerm2. This "outside of VSCode", was it still with a webview-based terminal? |

| ▲ | johnfn 2 days ago | parent | prev | next [-] | | I use the VSCode terminal all day every day. No other app I use in it has this issue, including Codex. | | |
| ▲ | coldtea 2 days ago | parent [-] | | OK, so you have the unbearable pain of using a separate terminal app to use the magic thingie that does your programming for you on prompt, and which didn't exist merely 2 years ago. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kBLkX2VaQs4 | | |
| ▲ | johnfn 2 days ago | parent [-] | | I am a fan of Claude code, I love it, I use it every day. Are you suggesting we’re not allowed to make any critique of anything which has good qualities? | | |
| ▲ | coldtea 2 days ago | parent [-] | | No, I'm suggesting that given the context, it's a tiny concession to make... | | |

| ▲ | dboon 2 days ago | parent | prev [-] | | It’s not. I see this constantly. I use Ghostty and Alacritty and usually am in a tmux session |
