First of all I want to thank the Cursor team for the amazing updates and continuous improvements.
When multiple chats are open, switching between them always resets the scroll position to the top of the conversation. This forces me to manually scroll back down to where I left off every time. In addition, the scrollbar has recently become harder to use and less accessible, which makes this issue even more frustrating and time consuming.
If we are already on this topic it would be very helpful to have simple arrow buttons to quickly jump to the beginning or the end of the conversation without having to click Show previous messages repeatedly.
Steps to Reproduce
Open Cursor
Start a conversation with enough messages to require scrolling
Open another chat in a different tab and also add enough messages to require scrolling
Switch back to the first chat
Notice that the scroll position has reset to the top instead of staying where it was
Expected Behavior
The scroll position in each chat should remain where it was when switching between chats so I can continue reading or working from the same place without having to scroll manually each time.
Additionally having quick navigation arrows to jump to the start or end of the chat would greatly improve usability.
Operating System

I have a funny question I keep asking myself. The Cursor team uses Cursor all the time, and they probably have several chats open at once.
How did that not bother them? After all, Cursor is building Cursor.

This is really getting annoying I just can’t work on two things at once like this.
It’s simply wasting my valuable time, and Cursor is supposed to save time.
Version: 1.4.5 (user setup)
Does this mean I should lose hope?
Because it hasn’t been fixed at all.
At the very least, tell him to do the standard thing — add up and down arrows so it’s easy to scroll, instead of me having to spend a whole minute going up, down, up, down, again and again.
I mean an arrow button that takes you instantly all the way to the top or all the way to the bottom.
In the video, you can also see how the new scrollbar that someone changed — thinking it would be better — has actually become really hard to use and very inconvenient.
I wish it were possible to go back to a normal scrollbar: one that’s always visible, thick, and doesn’t disappear on you all the time.
I am working on multiple chats and my middle finger is getting sore from scrolling so much. For such an innovative and amazing tool, this feels ridiculous
It’s crazy how they’re not fixing this. Sometimes I feel a huge wave of anger—why can such a big company not fix it?
They obviously have Cursor with no limits…
Why can’t they fix such a simple and annoying bug?
I really can’t wrap my head around it.
The number of times I scrolled down today was insane.
And if it’s a long conversation, every time it takes a while before it even lets me scroll.
Not to mention that they made the scrollbar really inconvenient.
Just to reiterate, this is still an issue. It appears to me that it happens mostly when you switch to another chat where the agent has already completed your last request. If the agent is still working, it mostly auto-jumps to the latest part of the chat.
