### Feature request for product/service

Cursor IDE

### Describe the request

Hi Team,

I noticed an issue in the Cursor AI desktop app when working with multiple chats.

When I switch between different chat threads, the app always loads the chat history from the top instead of keeping the scroll position at the latest message. This forces me to manually scroll down every time just to see the most recent responses.

This becomes really inconvenient, especially while working with multiple chat windows in parallel. It breaks the workflow and wastes time since I constantly need to scroll to the bottom.

Suggestion:  
It would be very helpful if the app could remember the last scroll position in each chat, so that when switching back, it directly shows the most recent part of the conversation.

> Hey all - I know this is a huge pain point for everyone. We’ve been rebuilding chat loading from the ground up because we had a lot of user frustration around long chats feeling very sluggish. This bug was a result of that. We’ve fixed it in a version that is coming out next week.

Thanks

The issue persists. It may have always existed, but it became more noticeable after the implementation of the /Summarize feature.

Same issue here. It’s brutal. several chats at the same time to have agents parallelize tasks (without bg agent) means long scrolling on every tab switch.

also, Home/End doesn’t work for me. Fixing that would decrease issue severity in the meantime

it’s better (sometimes goes to the bottom, versus never going to the bottom) but still not reliably working for me on 1.7.46

I downloaded 2.0.69 (Universal) and this is happening again. Regression?  
Really painful and annoying.
