Describe the Bug
When editing a former or new reply in a chat/composer conversation and selecting the text I input when the selected text reaches the top of the visible area it does not scroll the field automatically, and the field cannot be scrolled by the touchpad (tested on Mac, cursor 0.44.8) while continuing the selection. The area can be scrolled by SHIFT+cursor keys, or one can release the touchpad to stop selecting the area, scroll up or down manually and continue selecting with the keyboard (as a new mouse click automatically starts a new selection and doesn’t continue the old one).
Steps to Reproduce
Start a conversation, input text that is longer than the input field (e.g. a proposed json schema the AI should implement), let the AI reply, click on your previous message and try to copy-paste parts of the input text (e.g. the schema).
Expected Behavior
When the selection with the mouse reaches the end or beginning of the visible input field, it should automatically scroll the visible area roughly at the speed of the mouse and allow the user to select parts of the text.

Additional Information
When trying to edit old messages in a conversation (for example, to copy paste out input text), the size of the message box shrinks from a size that displayed the whole message to a size that is about 13 lines high, making selecting the input text that more difficult with the mouse.
Does this stop you from using Cursor
No - Cursor works, but with this issue
