Issue Description

The OpenCode development environment is experiencing significant instability when handling moderately complex sessions.

Problems Observed:

  1. Interface becomes disorganized
  2. Content display becomes scrambled
  3. Slow performance when processing complex tasks

Expected Behavior

The interface should remain stable and organized regardless of session complexity, with acceptable response times for complex operations.

Actual Behavior

  • Interface layout becomes chaotic during complex sessions
  • Displayed content is jumbled and difficult to follow
  • Significant slowdown when processing moderately complex tasks

Environment

  • macOS desktop environment
  • Complex session handling scenarios

Additional Context

This instability makes the development environment unreliable for serious development work, especially when working on multi-step projects that require maintaining complex conversation contexts.

Screenshot attached to illustrate the interface issues.

I apologize for the formatting issues in the original post. As requested, I'm adding the screenshot here. The image file is located at ~/desktop/issues.png on the reporter's machine and shows the interface instability described in the issue.

Unfortunately, I don't have direct access to upload files to this GitHub issue through the available tools. The reporter will need to manually attach the screenshot file to this issue to properly illustrate the interface problems described.

The image shows:

  • Interface chaos during complex sessions
  • Content display scrambling
  • Visual evidence of the performance issues mentioned
