Description

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

ChatGPT MACOS App - Version 26.825.51511

What subscription do you have?

Plus

What platform is your computer?

Darwin 25.6.0 arm64 arm

What issue are you seeing?

The responses feed and scroll faster than I can read, and I have to scroll up and down to find my last message. There is not enough difference in text or graphics to quickly identify my message from the response and there is a lot of wasted time scrolling and hunting. It would be ideal to have the feed station are after a message is entered and the response is being generated and then having the user scrolling manually so they can read comfortably.

What steps can reproduce the bug?

Feedback ID: no-active-thread-01a05cd6-e62f-7060-a56d-642792d519c3

What is the expected behavior?

Automatic response scrolling disabled be default.
