Desktop app v1.3.13 randomly scrolls to middle of conversation during chat #20600
Description
Description
I'm experiencing an issue where the OpenCode Desktop application (v1.3.13) randomly jumps/scrolls to the middle of the conversation while I'm chatting. This happens intermittently and is quite disruptive to the user experience.
Steps to Reproduce
- Open OpenCode Desktop v1.3.13
- Start or continue a conversation with multiple messages
- While typing or after sending a message, the view unexpectedly scrolls to the middle of the conversation history
Expected Behavior
The view should remain at the bottom of the conversation (most recent messages) unless the user manually scrolls up to view older messages.
Actual Behavior
The conversation view randomly jumps to an arbitrary position in the middle of the chat history, making it difficult to follow the conversation flow.
Environment
- OpenCode Version: v1.3.13 (Desktop)
- OS: Windows 11
- Additional context: The issue occurs unpredictably - sometimes while typing, sometimes after sending a message
Frequency
This happens frequently (multiple times per session), significantly impacting usability.
This issue makes longer conversations particularly frustrating to work with. Would appreciate a fix or any workaround suggestions.

Very annoying. I made some videos showing this:
I have a big problem in my chat window while the Model is still working. If I try to read the former text or thinking parts, every ~~30 seconds my reading area scrolls somewhere else so that I need to scroll down to that position where I was reading again. As finding the position takes around twenty seconds, I only have ten seconds to read until it jumps again.
Plugins
No response
OpenCode version
newest
Steps to reproduce
Fire a prompt to the model And let it work.
Scroll up with your mouse wheel and read something from the former output.
After less than three sentences you cannot read anymore and you are somewhere else in the long conversation.
Scroll down to find the reading position again.
Continue reading until the next time.

Same problem for me.

A fix for the desktop/web scroll-snap issue has been submitted: #40323 (Closes #40322). Verified locally on Windows: scroll up during a streaming response now holds position, and auto-follow resumes when returning to the bottom. If you are affected by this bug, a reaction or comment on the PR helps it stay open.

Closing as a duplicate of #17996, which tracks the desktop app's chat jumping position while you scroll. Please add your details and recordings there.
