Bug

Since a recent update, it's impossible to scroll through conversation history.

What broke:

  • Scroll wheel now captured by input box (multiline input change)
  • Ctrl+O transcript viewer only shows current page, not full history
  • Shift+scroll doesn't work
  • No way to read back through a long session

Expected: Mouse scroll scrolls conversation history like before

Impact: Major UX regression — product is unusable for long sessions. History is completely inaccessible.

extent analysis

TL;DR

Reverting the multiline input change or adjusting its event handling may restore the original scrolling behavior for conversation history.

Guidance

  • Investigate the event handling for the multiline input box to determine why it's capturing the scroll wheel event, potentially preventing it from reaching the conversation history container.
  • Verify if the Ctrl+O transcript viewer can be modified to load the full history instead of just the current page, as a potential workaround for accessing conversation history.
  • Consider adding a temporary shortcut or button for scrolling through conversation history until the main issue is resolved.
  • Review the Shift+scroll functionality to understand why it's not working as expected and if it can be reinstated as another means to scroll through the conversation history.

Example

No specific code example can be provided without knowing the exact implementation details, but the fix likely involves adjusting JavaScript event listeners for the input box and conversation history container.

Notes

The solution depends on the specific implementation of the multiline input change and how events are handled in the application. Without more details on the codebase, it's challenging to provide a precise fix.

Recommendation

Apply a workaround, such as adding a temporary button for scrolling through conversation history, until the root cause of the scroll wheel capture by the input box can be addressed and fixed.
