Describe the bug

When using AWS terminal commands, the current input screen scrolls up and disappears. Specifically, when running a command like

aws configure sso

the terminal scrolls to the top, causing the input prompt to disappear instead of staying on the screen.

Even after configuring it to output from the top down, the same scrolling issue occurs.

To reproduce

Environment

  • App: Warp Terminal
  • Current Configuration: Tested with both "Start at the top"(Settings > Appearance > Input position) enabled and disabled.

Steps to Reproduce

  1. Open the Warp terminal.
  2. Ensure the setting to display output from the top is active.
  3. Run an interactive AWS CLI command, such as aws configure sso.
  4. Observe the terminal behavior during the command execution.

Expected behavior

Expected Result

  • The input prompt and command output should remain visible within the current block or screen area.

Actual Result

  • The screen automatically scrolls up, pushing the current input/output block out of view. This issue persists regardless of whether the "Start prompts at the top" setting is enabled or disabled.

Screenshots, videos, and logs

Running aws configure sso triggers a scroll issue (marked in red). The terminal stays locked to the bottom of the output, preventing me from seeing the active input state even as I continue typing.
