Where does the bug appear (feature/product)?
Cursor IDE
Describe the Bug
The chat panel does not reliably auto-scroll as the AI responds. Sometimes it works, but often it stops partway through and I have to manually scroll down to see the latest content.
This seems most noticeable when the AI is doing extended work with many MCP tool calls. I’ve also seen it when the chat was auto-scrolling, the AI enters a thinking phase, and then continues — at that point auto-scrolling often stops.
The first message in a new conversation seems more likely to scroll correctly, but follow-up messages are where I notice the problem most.
Steps to Reproduce
- Open Cursor IDE and start a new chat conversation.
- Send a follow-up message that causes the AI to make many MCP tool calls.
- Watch the chat panel while the AI works.
- Observe whether the view stays scrolled to the latest content.
Result: Auto-scrolling often stops partway through. When the AI finishes, I frequently have to manually scroll down to see the end.
I’ve also noticed a similar pattern when the AI moves from thinking into continuing its response — scrolling that was working can stop at that transition.
Expected Behavior
The chat panel should reliably keep the latest content in view as the AI streams, thinks, and executes tool calls. I shouldn’t have to manually scroll to catch up.
