Description

Inside IntelliJ (or I suppose any other JetBrains IDE), when I scroll via touchpad to the end, it often bounces back and doesn't let me scroll fully. It seems like the TUI is buffering some additional scroll-down events, but once it reaches the end, it reverts the remaining steps to scroll-up events

I'm not sure what is happening, as it happens even mid-scroll too

Notice that in the video, I'm not scrolling up, only down

If I use a mouse, then it's totally fine

Also, if I open any terminal outside of the IntelliJ terminal, the scrolling works fine with either a touchpad or a mouse

OpenCode version

1.0.134

Steps to reproduce

  • Install IntelliJ 2025.2.5
  • Open up a terminal using Reworked 2025 engine
  • Type opencode in terminal
  • Write a prompt or a session that is at least scrollable
  • Try to scroll to the bottom with a touchpad

This issue might be a duplicate of existing issues. Please check:

  • #3941: Terminal in JetBrains IDE doesn't work properly (can't type or paste multiline commands)
  • #4934: Scrolling induces permission rejection
  • #532: TUI isn't usable in Intellij's terminal
  • #4012: Rendering problems inside pycharm on Windows (WSL/Debian)

These issues all report interaction problems (scrolling, typing, rendering) in JetBrains IDE terminals. While they may be related to a broader issue with JetBrains terminal compatibility, feel free to ignore if your specific touchpad scrolling bouncing issue is distinct from these.

Not sure what happened, but after updating to IntelliJ 2025.3 today, everything is fixed

Even the weird artifacts on the welcome screen are gone now 🥳
