codex - 💡(How to fix) Fix Long threads can jump back to top while scrolling downward toward latest output [2 comments, 2 participants]

TL;DR

The issue can be mitigated by investigating and potentially fixing the scrolling logic in the Codex app to handle long conversations without resetting the viewport.

Guidance

• Investigate the changes made in version 26.406.31014 (1395) to identify potential causes for the scrolling issue, as it started after the update.
• Review the code related to scrolling and viewport management in long conversations to ensure it correctly handles the scroll position.
• Consider adding a temporary fix or workaround to prevent the viewport from jumping back to the top when scrolling downward in long threads.
• Test the app with various conversation lengths and scrolling scenarios to reproduce and verify the issue.

Example

No specific code snippet can be provided without more context, but the fix might involve modifying the scrolling logic to correctly update the viewport position when navigating through long conversations.

Notes

The issue might be related to #17169, but the specific symptom described here is different, so the solution may need to address both issues or verify if fixing one resolves the other.

Recommendation

Apply a workaround to the scrolling logic to prevent the viewport from jumping back to the top in long conversations, as the root cause is likely related to the update and needs further investigation to provide a permanent fix.
