VS Code extension: Ctrl+F search results don't scroll into view properly

Resolved 💬 2 comments Opened Mar 21, 2026 by ezwep Closed Apr 18, 2026

Description

When using Ctrl+F (Find) in the Claude Code VS Code extension panel, the search navigation arrows appear but clicking up/down doesn't properly scroll the matched search term into the visible area of the panel.

Steps to reproduce

  1. Open Claude Code panel in VS Code
  2. Have a conversation with enough content to require scrolling
  3. Press Ctrl+F to open the search bar
  4. Type a search term that has matches
  5. Click the up/down arrows to navigate between matches

Expected behavior

The panel should scroll to bring the highlighted search result into the visible viewport.

Actual behavior

The search highlights matches but scrolling to the result doesn't work correctly — the matched term may remain off-screen.

Environment

  • VS Code: latest version
  • Claude Code extension: latest version
  • OS: macOS (Darwin 25.3.0)
