Feature hasn't been suggested before.

  • I have verified this feature I'm about to request hasn't been suggested before.

Describe the enhancement you want to request

Chat panel can in rare circumstances contain more than one viewport height's worth of content. In such cases a scrollbar has historically, in other apps, been found to be useful.

Benefits: Will allow you to more rapidly scroll to where it all went wrong instead of having to aggressively caress your trackpad for five minutes straight.

Happy to submit a PR for this myself if you guys give me the green light!

This issue might be a duplicate of existing issues. Please check:

  • #2500: scrollbars missing - Reports broken/missing scrollbars in the TUI that prevent comfortable scrolling through long chat sessions
  • #4495: Scrolling - User asking about scrolling options for long chat sessions
  • #7659: Don't Automatically Scroll Chat Window - Related chat scrolling/viewport behavior issue

Feel free to ignore if none of these address your specific Desktop app case.
