AI chat auto-scroll does not follow streaming updates when Thinking/Tool Calls are visible

[rnwolfe]

Summary

When AI chat is configured to show thinking/tool-call output, the viewport can stop following the live conversation even though auto-scroll is enabled.

Environment

• App: Maestro (renderer chat view)
• Component: src/renderer/components/TerminalOutput.tsx
• Mode: AI mode with thinking/tool-call visibility enabled

Steps to Reproduce

1. Enable AI chat display mode that shows thinking/tool calls.
2. Start a prompt that produces streaming thinking/tool activity.
3. Keep auto-scroll enabled and observe output as chunks stream.

Expected Behavior

The chat viewport stays pinned to the latest output while streaming is active.

Actual Behavior

The viewport intermittently stops following updates during streaming, requiring manual scroll-to-bottom.

Can you explain the issue a bit more for me, it works for thinking streams just fine for me, are you some how triggering the "stop auto scrolling" feature by selecting a response above the last or scrolling up slightly by chance? I have not observed the issue and i ALWAYS have thinking enabled (its why i went after this feature) so tool calls, thinking, and responses all have worked with out issue for me. Wondering if the changes that hit main for user settings somehow broke this.
