   +1 on OpenCode Desktop (macOS Electron) v1.18.25 (macOS 15.x, arm64). The issue is still reproducible today.

   Environment

   • OpenCode version: Desktop app 1.18.25 (Electron, /Applications/OpenCode.app)
   • OS: macOS 15.x Sequoia, Apple Silicon (arm64)
   • Install source: downloaded from opencode.ai/download

   Steps to reproduce

   1. Open the OpenCode Desktop app and start (or open) a session that produces a long assistant reply (long enough to require scrolling).
   2. Once the reply finishes, scroll up to read an earlier part of the answer (i.e., leave the viewport at a middle position, NOT at the bottom).
   3. In the session tabs at the top, click a different session tab to switch away.
   4. Click back to the original session tab.

   Expected behavior

   The viewport should stay at the scroll position I left it at (middle of the reply), so I can continue reading.

   Actual behavior

   The viewport jumps to the bottom of the reply every time I switch back to the tab. I have to manually scroll up again to find where I was. This breaks the reading flow and is especially painful when reviewing long transcripts across multiple sessions.

   Notes

   • Reproducible every time, not tied to any specific model or provider.
   • This is specifically about the Desktop (Electron) app. The TUI apparently got a fix in Scope terminal sidebar and session scroll state to each tab #44152 (Scope terminal sidebar and session scroll state to each tab, closed completed on Sep 1, 2026) and fix(tui): isolate tab scroll state #42456 (fix(tui): isolate tab scroll state), but the Desktop/Electron timeline does not appear to have an equivalent fix yet.
   • Please consider persisting per-tab scroll offset (or at least not forcing scroll-to-bottom on tab focus) in the Electron app, same as the TUI fix.
