Description

current behaviour: auto scroll looks cool but is an anti-feature, it wastes a lot of time in waiting for it to finish and then scrolling back to read the answer.

expected behaviour: an option to enable or disable auto scroll. when disabled, only the first few lines are adjested onto the viewport, so the user can start reading the answer immediately.

Research direction
