What issue are you seeing?
On macOS Apple Silicon, long responses in the Codex/ChatGPT desktop app repeatedly jump/scroll upward while I am reading them. The bottom of the response becomes difficult or impossible to reach because the view moves back upward and leaves blank space below.
The issue has existed since I installed the app. I have already submitted Feedback twice, and the problem remains after two app updates.
The same conversations work normally in the browser/Safari.
What steps can reproduce the bug?
Feedback ID: no-active-thread-019fec9e-445a-7012-8d03-31fb1a31bd31
What is the expected behavior?
when I write a question the text does not move up and up it just stays on the top level.

Research direction
Start by reproducing the issue in the Codex/ChatGPT desktop app on macOS Apple Silicon with a long response, then compare the same conversation in Safari. Done means long responses remain stable while scrolling and the bottom can be reached without the view jumping upward or leaving blank space.
