Description

What version of the Codex App are you using (From “About Codex” dialog)?

26.818.21641

What subscription do you have?

Pro

What platform is your computer?

Arch Linux 7.1.8-arch1-3 x86_64

What issue are you seeing?

Text jumps around when scrolling threads. For example, opening a long thread, quickly scrolling to the top, then it loads previous messages, but also the text position jumps to a different place. Also in general scrolling up the text often flickers back down. Also seems to jump to random places when scrolling over visualizations or tables.

What steps can reproduce the bug?

Basically the scroll position jumps around quite badly, especially in long threads with tables and visualizations. The scrollbar position should be steady.

What is the expected behavior?

Research direction

No file or test is named. Reproduce the issue in a long thread on Arch Linux, especially while loading earlier messages or scrolling over tables and visualizations, then trace the terminal scrolling and thread-loading entry points. Done means scrolling no longer flickers or jumps to another position and the scrollbar remains steady.
