## 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).
