request setting to disable autoscroll

What variant of Codex are you using?

App

What feature would you like to see?

I find the autoscroll during the Codex response to be visually uncomfortable - especially for longer messages.

This is, I think, my preferred behavior:

  • a space is afforded for a short response that requires no scrolling (~10 lines)
  • if the output goes beyond that space, there is a small visual cue (arrow) but no autoscroll
  • user can scroll to see the rest of the message

Please make this a setting - or even the default

Stretch:

  • afforded space is also controllable (10 lines? 20 lines?)
  • afforded space (controlled by user) is interpreted by Codex as the desired length for "typical conversational exchange" -- longer responses are tied to specific requests by the user or are determined through context
