What's Wrong?
When I ask a question, I get back pages and pages of internal thinking. Each script or internal dialogue has a carrot next to the header, allowing you to roll it up. But that carrot does not work. So in order to read an answer to a short question I often have to scroll through 10 pages of internal dialogue.
What Should Happen?
I should type in a prompt and receive a response and in between the two there should be a small line with the opportunity to expand and see some of the internal thinking.
Error Messages/Logs
Steps to Reproduce
- Type anything in the prompt.
- Receive an answer only after pages and pages of internal Scripts.
