Hello,

I see this has already been reported by Nicolas here:

https://github.com/anthropics/claude-code/issues/910

I myself also wrote a report here:

https://github.com/anthropics/claude-code/issues/36765

(I admit I got too lazy to look for duplicates)

Anthropic's bot has identified two other related issues:

https://github.com/anthropics/claude-code/issues/29065 and
https://github.com/anthropics/claude-code/issues/2237

Shall we try to all comment on Nicolas' issue with the hope that it will
help raise its priority?

I can imagine that BRLTTY could cope with such simulated cursors but
it's not really satisfactory.

Also, I am under the impression that, as much as Claude Code has a
colorblind friendly mode, it could also have a screen reader friendly
mode where it wouldn't use that many embllishment character and perhaps
also have a more linear presentation, wiht less popping messages.

Thoughts?
