Describe the bug

When pasting a large command into the input field, the displayed command gets cut-off and doesn't show the entire command. This issue is causing inconvenience and makes it difficult to review and verify the command. The goal is to find a solution that allows users to see the entire pasted command without any truncation or loss of information.

To reproduce

for example, if I want to run jq command on a large json like:

{"abcd_efgh": "XY", "ijkl_mnop": ["mock1", "mock2"], "qrst_uvwx": 9876543210, "yz_abcd_efgh": null, "ijkl_mnop_qrst": ["mockdata1.com", "mockdata2.org"], "uvwx_ijkl_mnop": ["server-01.mockdata1.com", "db-01.mockdata2.org"], "abcd_efgh_qrst": "ZZ", "uvwx_yz": "MockData Corp.", "efgh_ijkl": [{"mnop_abcd": "MockData's Database Service", "qrst_uvwx": "MockDB", "yz_abcd_efgh": {"efgh_ijkl_mnop": 200, "ijkl_mnop_qrst": null, "qrst_uvwx_yz": [], "abcd_efgh_ijkl": null, "uvwx_ijkl": "Welcome to MockDB", "mnop_qrst": null, "efgh_ijkl_mnop": "MockWAF", "ijkl_mnop": null, "qrst_uvwx_yz_abcd": "MockDBServer", "efgh_ijkl_mnop_qrst": -123456789, "mnop_abcd_efgh": "123.456.789.012", "qrst_uvwx_abcd_efgh": "<HTML><HEAD>\n<TITLE>Welcome to MockDB</TITLE>\n</HEAD><BODY>\n<H1>Welcome to MockDB</H1>\n<p>MockDB is a powerful and scalable database service.</p>\n</BODY></HTML>\n", "qrst_uvwx_yz_abcd_efgh": "/", "mnop_abcd_efgh_ijkl": {}, "qrst_uvwx_yz_abcd_efgh_ijkl": -987654321, "yz": null}, "ijkl_mnop_qrst_uvwx": null, "ijkl_mnop_qrst_uvwx_yz": "2023-07-30T11:59:38.554915", "yz_abcd_efgh_ijkl": "MockData Internet Services", "ijkl_mnop_qrst_uvwx_yz_abcd": "tcp", "qrst": {"qrst_abcd": "us", "mnop": true, "ijkl": "http", "qrst_abcd_efgh": "a1b2c3d4-e5f6-7g8h-9i0j-k1l2m3n4o5p6", "qrst_uvwx": {}, "qrst_abcd_efgh_ijkl": "4f9e2d1c1a0b7d7e8a6c5b3d2e1f4"}, "qrst_abcd_efgh_ijkl_mnop": 123456789, "qrstuvwxyz_abcd": "AS12345", "uvwxyz": {"ijkl_mnop": "Mocktown", "qrst_uvwx_yz_abcd_efgh": "XY", "ijkl_mnop_qrst": null, "qrst_abcd_efgh": -71.0589, "qrst_uvwx": 42.3601, "yz_abcd": "ZZ", "abcdefghijklmnop": "Mockland"}, "qrst_uvwx_ijkl": 9876543210, "ijkl_mnop_qrst_uvwx": ["mockdata1.com", "mockdata2.org"], "ijkl_mnop_qrst_uvwx_yz": "MockData Corp.", "ijkl_mnop_qrst_uvwx_yz_abcd": "HTTP/1.1 200 OK\r\nServer: MockDBServer\r\nMime-Version: 1.0\r\nContent-Type: text/html\r\nContent-Length: 87\r\nExpires: Sun, 30 Jul 2023 11:59:38 GMT\r\nDate: Sun, 30 Jul 2023 11:59:38 GMT\r\nConnection: close\r\n\r\n", "ijkl_mnop_qrst_abcd": 80, "qrst_uvwx_yz_abcd_efgh_ijkl": {}, "qrst_uvwx_yz_abcd_efgh_ijkl_mnop": {"abcdefghijklmnop": {}}, "uvwxyz_abcd": {}, "ijkl_mnop_abcd": "123.456.789.012"}], "qrst_uvwx": "AS12345", "uvwxyz": "Mocktown", "ijkl": "MockData Internet Services", "mnop": -71.0589, "qrst_abcd": "Mockland", "uvwxyz_abcd_efgh": "123.456.789.012", "qrst_uvwx_ijkl": null, "mnop_abcd": [80]}

the text will be cut-off

Expected behavior
  1. If the command exceeds the height of the input field, a vertical scrollbar should appear, allowing the user to scroll down and view the full content of the command.
  2. The scrollbar should be responsive and functional, enabling smooth navigation through the entire command text.
  3. Users should be able to edit and manipulate the entire command without any content being hidden or cut off from view.
  4. The system should maintain the original formatting and line breaks of the pasted command, ensuring that it remains legible during scrolling.

Does this block you from using Warp daily?

No

Is this a Warp specific issue? (i.e. does it happen in Terminal, iTerm, Kitty, etc.)

Yes, this I confirmed this only happens in Warp, not other terminals.

Research direction

No file or test is named. Start by reproducing the issue in the command input with the large jq/JSON example, then locate the input component responsible for rendering pasted multiline commands. Done means the full command remains editable and legible with a functional vertical scrollbar, preserved line breaks, and no truncation.
