Describe the Bug

The recent changes have negatively impacted my workflow to the point where I have downgraded to version 1.7.54 to be productive.
Specifically, the following problems make version 2.0 difficult to use:

  • Loss of chat position and text selection: When switching from the editor back to the Agents tab, the chat window automatically scrolls to the very end of the conversation. It also removes any text I had selected. This completely disrupts my workflow and forces me to manually navigate back to where I was working.
  • Removed separate chat window: The feature to “pop out” the chat and agent window, which was available in previous versions, has been removed. This is a significant step backward in usability, especially for users with multiple monitors who need to view the agent and editor simultaneously.

The combination of these issues has led to a much less efficient and more frustrating user experience. Until these features are restored or fixed, I am unable to use the latest version effectively.

For this reason, I have reverted to version 1.7.54, which retains the functionality I need.

Thank you for your attention to this issue. I hope to see these key features fixed or restored in a future update so I can upgrade again.

Steps to Reproduce

Upgrade to 2.0

Expected Behavior

Should retain chat position and text selection when switching between agents and ediotr.
The feature to “pop out” the chat and agent window should be brought back especially for users with multiple monitors who need to view the agent and editor simultaneously.
