Problem Statement

In the Claude Code VS Code extension, while a response is streaming, the view automatically scrolls upward as new text arrives. This makes it hard to read the answer while it is still being generated — the line I am reading keeps jumping out of view. This is especially disorienting on longer responses.

Proposed Solution

Add a setting (for example claude-code.disableStreamingAutoScroll) that keeps the scroll position fixed while a response is streaming, instead of auto-scrolling to follow the newest text.

When enabled, the view should NOT jump upward as new text arrives. The user could then read the answer from the top at their own pace while the rest is generated below.

When disabled, the current behavior (auto-scroll to the latest output) stays as the default.
