[BUG] VS Code extension: searching doesn't navigate to results off-screen

Preflight Checklist

What's Wrong?

When using Ctrl+F (Find) in the Claude Code VS Code extension panel, the search navigation arrows appear but navigating:

  • moves only from the first to the first to the last result (and vice versa)
  • does not bring into view any results that are outside of of the viewport

What Should Happen?

Navigation with the up/down buttons, Enter/Shift+Enter, and F3/Shift+F3 should cycle among the search results, and scroll the session log to bring them into view.

Steps to Reproduce

See https://github.com/anthropics/claude-code/issues/37182

Is this a regression?

No, this never worked. Surprising that it has been reported only once.

Claude Code Version

VS Code Extension 2.1.186, lagging behind Claude Code 2.1.195 (auto-update enabled)

Operating System

Ubuntu/Debian Linux, probably cross-platform.
