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
