## Summary Fixes scroll position inversion when content height changes during a scrollbar drag (e.g. in the agent panel while streaming responses). ### Root cause `set_offset_from_scrollbar` used the **live** `items.summary().height` for `content_height` and computed a `drag_offset` correction (`live − frozen`). However, `max_offset_for_scrollbar()` → `max_scroll_offset()` already uses the **frozen** `scrollbar_drag_start_height` during drag. This mismatch means: 1. The scrollbar computes thumb position using the frozen height range 2. `set_offset_from_scrollbar` converts that position using the live height range 3. As content grows during drag, `drag_offset` increases 4. `(point.y - drag_offset).abs()` produces an incorrectly large value, overshooting `scroll_max` The `.abs()` call also masked the sign convention: `compute_click_offset` (in `scrollbar.rs`) returns `-max_offset * percentage` — a negative value — but `.abs()` converted it regardless of sign, hiding the mismatch. ### Fix - Use `scrollbar_drag_start_height` (frozen during drag) for `content_height` in `set_offset_from_scrollbar`, matching `max_scroll_offset()`. Both sides of the scrollbar mapping now use the same height reference. - Replace `(point.y - drag_offset).abs()` with `(-point.y)` to correctly convert the negative scroll offset. - Remove the symmetric `drag_offset` from `scroll_px_offset_for_scrollbar`, which reported position back to the scrollbar and suffered from the same inconsistency. - Update existing tests to use negative offsets, matching the actual values produced by the scrollbar component. - Add a regression test that freezes height, grows content, drags the scrollbar, and asserts the position is correct. ## Test plan - [x] Existing tests updated to use correct sign convention (negative offsets) - [x] New regression test `test_scrollbar_drag_with_growing_content`: verifies scroll position remains correct when content grows during a scrollbar drag - [ ] Manual: open agent panel, start a long generation, drag scrollbar while content is streaming — position should track the thumb correctly Release Notes: - Fixed scrollbar position jumping or inverting when content height changes during a scrollbar drag (e.g. in the agent panel while streaming). 🤖 Generated with [Claude Code](https://claude.com/claude-code) --------- Co-authored-by: Smit Barmase <heysmitbarmase@gmail.com>
