v2.1.150: scroll wheel no longer scrolls conversation — sends arrow keys instead #65833

Bug description

After updating to v2.1.150, the mouse scroll wheel no longer scrolls through the conversation output inside the Claude Code TUI. Instead, it sends arrow keys, which cycles through input history in the prompt field.

Previously (before v2.1.150), scroll wheel worked correctly to scroll up/down through the conversation.

A message appears at the bottom of the UI: "Scroll wheel is sending arrow keys · use PgUp/PgDn to scroll" — confirming this is intentional in the new version, but it's a significant UX regression.

Environment

  • Claude Code version: v2.1.150
  • OS: Windows 11 + WSL2 (Ubuntu)
  • Terminal: PyCharm embedded terminal (wsl.exe --distribution Ubuntu)

Expected behavior

Mouse scroll wheel scrolls through conversation output, with a visible scrollbar on the right side of the terminal panel (as it did before v2.1.150).

Actual behavior

Scroll wheel sends arrow keys (navigates input history). No scrollbar visible. Must use PgUp/PgDn to scroll, which is unintuitive and breaks the previous workflow.

Request

Please restore mouse scroll wheel support for scrolling conversation output, or make it configurable.
