Scrolling Disruption When Generating Code Blocks in Long Conversations

[taylorsatula]

Bug Description When chats get long and Claude tries to generate a codeblock it bounces way higher up in the conversation window and you have to scroll back down. This has been happening for at least a few weeks and happens reliably.

Also having this issue on macOS, latest version as of 03/28/25

Really annoying, basically makes it impossible to scroll up and read longer outputs, you just find your position and it jerks to the the top of a long conversation. Maybe its related to the time that vscode integration became possible?

[jimsynz]

I am finding this with WezTerm on both macOS and Gnome/Wayland

[RensTillmann]

Same issue here on Windows 11 with WSL Ubuntu Xterm. Sometimes scrolling even becomes disabled.

[WalterColling]

Same here Linux - Ubuntu

[MaitreyaBuddha]

Mine actually is locked at the bottom while it's asking me to approve changes I can't scroll up to view.
