came here for same reason (i just discovered that something like progress panel even exist by accidentally clicking on horizontal scrollbar)
for me best would be if first column (chat) did not span 100% of parent container width, but leave enough space for second column (progress) to be visible without need to horizontal scrollbar - basically this mockup:

The worst part is it also makes the pgUp/pgDown keys unusable, see #21930
So any progress on this?
Basic scrolling is broken, users have been reporting it for days, and the lack of any meaningful maintainer response is frankly embarrassing.
looks like this is already fixed in latest version?
I'm using codex vscode ext 26.519.32039 and the progress panel now disappear so this is now fixed.
I don't care about the progress panel feature so I'm going to close this.
