  1. When a new message is stared we scroll up so the message is at the top. But parts of the older message are visible 🐛 Only the sent message should be seen
  2. We auto-scroll. I find this behavior destructive and I can not read text 🐛
  3. Auto-scroll actually stops scrolling in certain cases. In this recording, notice how the very end is not revealed 🐛

I would much prefer if we did not auto-scroll. And if there was a Down floating button that revelease the last thing. As ChatGPT does.
Auto-scroll makes it impossible to read the text as it is coming in.
