Research direction
No source files, tests, or entry points are named. Start by reproducing the reported window resizing, focus stealing, hidden content, and automatic hiding on the listed Copilot for Xcode, Xcode, and macOS versions, using the screenshot and 1920x1080 resolution as context; done means the affected window behaviors are corrected and the final response remains fully accessible.

Description
Strange behaviours of the CoPilot application window on my Mac Mini M1. I have set the size of the window. Suddenly it can blow up to cover the full screen.
If let the CoPilot app window run in the background to do its business, it suddenly pops up and takes the focus from the other app I am in while waiting for CoPilot to complete.
Many times I get the last reply from CoPilot is not fully visible in the bottom of its scroll viewer. I cannot see the last sentence(s). If it is asking for a confirmation about something and presents a button, it is impossible to click that button as it is below the visible edge. Then I have to close CoPilot and reopen it.
Another problem is that when the CoPilot is finished with its reply, it often hides itself automatically. Why ?
