[Feature Request] Auto-scroll should pause when user scrolls up in chat

this is a really annoying issue!!!! Please fix or remove auto-scrolling!

CRITICAL

Confirming this issue - Settings don't fix it

I'm experiencing the same problem. While Claude is generating responses, the chat window auto-scrolls to the bottom and locks me there, making it impossible to scroll up and read earlier parts of the conversation.

What I tried:
Added these settings to my VS Code settings.json:

"claude.outputStyle": "current",
"claude.suppressOutputStylePrompt": true,
"claude.output.autoScroll": false,
"claude.scrollLock": true

any plans on fixing this soon ?

Still experiencing this in the latest version. The auto-scroll completely prevents reviewing earlier parts of the conversation while Claude is generating responses.

Steps to reproduce:

1. Start any chat that generates a long response
2. Scroll up while Claude is typing
3. The view immediately jumps back to the bottom

Impact:

This makes it impossible to reference earlier code or explanations during generation. I have to wait for the entire response to finish before I can review anything, which breaks the workflow when working with complex problems.

The workaround of breaking requests into smaller chunks helps, but it's not a real solution. A simple "pause auto-scroll when user scrolls up" behavior would fix this completely.

This should be improving in the next release.
