What issue are you seeing?
VSCode extension or macos desktop app codex scroller jumps like crazy, can't scroll to middle to see previous history, my macbook is m2 max 96gb, I think it's the implementation of the scroller, maybe you guys are using virtual scroller? I don't know which genius decide to implement virtual scroll to dynamic children content, it's obviously going to have crazy UI bug, I know you guys did a massive refactor once, but please refactor again, maybe using pretext to actually solve this virtual scroller.
What steps can reproduce the bug?
You just chat massive, and one day, it failed to properly render previous messages while scrolling
What is the expected behavior?

Confirm also on the Codex App, it's scrolling like crazy it's legit impossible to use, I can't read past messages without getting epilepsy
Same here in vscode codex extension. When I scroll up to my last input and the very top of the box with my last prompt comes into view it suddenly jumps to somewhere far far up in the conversation!
It is NOT happening in every chat -- it's just happening in one of several I have on going in the same project.
Because of this, I haven’t updated Codex since v0.130.0. Try v0.130.0 if you're okay with the old version.
BTW, I’ve been waiting for the fix, but now I’m starting to think it might never happen.
I have kept up to date and not seen anything like this behavior in a long time. So might be worth closing.
I have this after one of the recent updates. Never saw it before, not during the conversation it just jump in the middle of it. Sometimes I think it does it even if no text is generated. I'm not sure what is hapening but it's super annoying. ChatGPT app.
