claude-code - 💡(How to fix) Fix [Bug] With autoScrollEnabled: false, viewport drifts by N lines per N new streamed lines once user prompt scrolls off-screen [1 participants]

TL;DR

The issue can be mitigated by adjusting the scrolling logic to account for the offset caused by new lines when the prompt is no longer visible.

Guidance

• Review the scrolling logic to ensure it correctly handles the case when the prompt is scrolled out of view, potentially by introducing an offset correction based on the number of new lines added.
• Verify that the viewport's position is updated correctly when new lines are streamed in, taking into account the user's current scroll position.
• Consider adding a conditional check to freeze the viewport's position when the prompt is no longer visible, to prevent the drifting behavior.
• Investigate if there are any existing configuration options or settings that could influence this behavior, such as a threshold for when to start adjusting the scroll position.

Example

No code example is provided due to the lack of specific implementation details in the issue.

Notes

The solution may require modifications to the Claude Code's scrolling logic, which could have implications for other features or user interactions. It is essential to thoroughly test any changes to ensure they do not introduce new issues.

Recommendation

Apply a workaround by adjusting the scrolling logic to correctly handle the case when the prompt is scrolled out of view, as this is likely to be a more immediate solution than waiting for a potential fix in a future version.
