Description
When switching away from the Cowork tab and back, the view initially appears near the end of the conversation (where I left off), then actively scrolls upward to a seemingly random position far from where I was. This requires manually scrolling back down to find my place every time.
Steps to reproduce
- Open a Cowork session with an active conversation
- Switch to a different tab or application
- Switch back to the Cowork tab
- Observe: view briefly shows the end of the conversation, then scrolls up to an unrelated position
Expected behavior
The Cowork tab should remain at (or return to) the scroll position where I left off, or auto-scroll to the latest message.
Environment
- Claude Desktop 1.1.2998
- macOS 26.2 (Tahoe, build 25C56)
- Happens consistently on every tab switch
