Scrolling does not work in opencode on Ubuntu 24. There is no scrollbar and I am unable to read the output. Tested in Terminator and Warp — Claude Code scrolls fine in both, so the issue is on opencode's side.

Environment:

  • OS: Ubuntu (Linux 6.14.0)
  • Terminals: Terminator, Warp

Related issues:

  • #166 — Not able to scroll inside terminal window
  • #689 — Scrolling broken
  • #8449 — Scroll not working (VS Code, Windows)
  • #6209 — Cannot scroll on iTerm
  • #4495 — Scrolling pain on long sessions

Love this project — being able to use my Claude Max and ChatGPT Plus subscriptions through a single terminal interface instead of burning money on API keys is a great idea. Just need to be able to scroll to see the output to make the experience complete.

Do other mouse actions work? Do you have any plugins installed and does the issue still happen without any plugins?

Meanwhile pageUp/Down should scroll, so should ctrl+alt+b/f/y/e/u/d.

You can toggle on the scrollbar via the command menu pressing ctrl+p and selecting "Toggle session scrollbar".

After enabling the scrollbar, I’m now able to scroll, so that specific issue is resolved. However, I think fundamentally Open Code is not able to leverage terminal scrolling properly, whereas Claude Code can. I’ve recorded this in a video—you can take a look at it. claude vs opencode scroll difference

I have one more request: I think it would be much easier if the scrollbar were enabled by default. Scrolling is a basic and necessary interaction. If terminal-level scrolling itself were supported—like in Terminator or Warp—it would make the experience significantly better.

Thank you.

This is a design decision. Notice how claude code scrolls the entire contents of the terminal while OpenCode scrolls only a container while the input field stays fixed to bottom of the screen.

This is the only one, but very significant reason I can’t use opencode and stay with claude code. While terminal window scrolling is smooth, container scrolling is janky/stuttering and I loose myself very quick.
