Description
What issue are you seeing?
whenever I chat in the browser with ChatGPT, at some point, I'm not able to scroll to the bottom anymore, it just jumps up.
localStorage.clear() will solve that issue but introduce other ones.
What steps can reproduce the bug?
Start a chat in the (Chrome) Browser (probably all browsers) and chat for a while.
What is the expected behavior?
Chat scrolling will move to the bottom while still not disturbing manual scrolling of the user.
Additional information
This is VERY annoying, and I hope it can be forwarded to the right team, that's Codex here only I think, that's why other bug. No idea why I've waited 2 years to report this.
I'd except that features like this are tested properly. Maybe localStorage has been mocked or something which might have resulted to this issue, no idea.

Start by reproducing the issue in Chrome with a chat that has many messages, then compare the behavior after running localStorage.clear(). Investigate the scrolling behavior and verify that reaching the bottom works without interrupting manual scrolling, while checking that clearing storage does not introduce the reported other issues.
