Description
Description
kimi-code 0.31.1 TUI renders CJK (Chinese) text beyond the terminal edge. Text is not wrapped correctly — characters overflow to the right side of the terminal window and get clipped.
Environment
- kimi-code: 0.31.1
- OS: macOS 15.5 (Darwin 25.5.0, arm64)
- Terminal: Ghostty (xterm-ghostty), also reproducible in other terminals
- COLUMNS: 80
- LANG: en_US.UTF-8
- Font: Maple Mono NF CN (monospace with CJK support)
Steps to Reproduce
- Start
kimiin a terminal with 80 columns - Ask any question in Chinese
- Observe that the response text overflows the right terminal edge
Expected Behavior
CJK characters should be treated as double-width (2 terminal columns each). Text should wrap correctly within terminal width, and respond to terminal resize events — just like Claude Code does with the same Ink/React TUI framework.
Actual Behavior
Text overflows to the right, gets clipped at the terminal edge. Resizing the terminal does not fix the layout.
Reference
Claude Code (same Ink-based TUI framework) handles CJK width calculation and terminal resize correctly in the same environment. This suggests the fix is within kimi-code's rendering layer, not the terminal or framework.

Research direction
Start by locating the TypeScript TUI rendering and layout code built with Ink/React, then reproduce the issue with Chinese input in an 80-column terminal. Done means CJK characters stay within the terminal width, wrap at the correct double-column width, and the layout responds correctly to terminal resizing.
