…vent auto-scroll After commit 6724daa, the classic CLI uses refresh_interval=1.0 to keep the status bar clock ticking during idle. In non-fullscreen mode (full_screen=False), this periodic redraw sends ANSI output to the terminal once per second. Terminal emulators with "auto-scroll on output" enabled (Xshell, iTerm2, Windows Terminal, etc.) interpret this output as new content and snap the viewport to the bottom — even when the user has manually scrolled up to read conversation history. Fix: set refresh_interval=0 in non-fullscreen mode. The status bar clock will freeze after the turn completes, but any user input (key press, paste) triggers a full repaint that refreshes it.

Summary
After commit 6724daa, the classic CLI uses refresh_interval=1.0 to keep the status bar clock ticking during idle. In non-fullscreen mode, this periodic redraw sends ANSI output to the terminal once per second.
Terminal emulators with auto-scroll on output (Xshell, iTerm2, Windows Terminal) interpret this as new content and snap the viewport to the bottom.
Fix
Set refresh_interval=0 in non-fullscreen mode. The clock freezes after turn completes but any user input triggers a full repaint.
