What's Wrong?

Description:

When resizing the Claude Code window, the scroll position jumps back to the start of the conversation instead of maintaining the current reading position.

Actual behaviour:
The view jumps to the top of the conversation, requiring manual scrolling back to the previous reading position.

Impact:
This disrupts the reading flow, particularly when frequently adjusting window size or working with tiled window managers.

What Should Happen?

Expected behaviour:
The scroll position should remain at or near the content that was visible before resizing, maintaining the user's reading context.
