Research direction
No source file, test, or log is identified; start by reproducing the issue in a Copilot Chat window using larger agent tasks and the reported Copilot for Xcode 0.44.0, Xcode 26.1, and macOS 26.1 versions. Done means chat content is not cut off and automatic scrolling continues to the bottom so controls remain usable.

Description
Describe the bug
In Copilot Chat windows (not matter what size the window is / if it is full screen) content will always repeatedly get completely cut-off at the bottom in the chat no matter what after a while. Automatically scrolling to the bottom also stops working, i.e. I have to always manually scroll down on my own to the bottom to see what's happening and to allow commands (If the "allow" button didn't get cut off again by the other issue). This is especially annoying and slightly more time-consuming with a multi-screen setup.
Versions
- Copilot for Xcode: 0.44.0
- Xcode: 26.1
- macOS: 26.1
Steps to reproduce
- Start/Open a Chat
- Let the AI Agent do bigger tasks
- Wait / let the AI do it's thing and maybe make some more requests in the chat till the issues appear
