Scrolling does not work #3855

Describe the bug

I am unsure of an exact date when I first noticed this (maybe 1.0.61 - Add full screen scrollbar?) but I can no longer scroll back through the conversation. I stopped using copilot in my tmux tab because I couldn't scroll up. Now it happens in my other non-tmux terminal tabs.

Additionally, when copy/pasting for later usage in notes or for sharing, the text now contains the scroll bar which adds a ton of whitespace.

Small example of the copy/paste issue (scroll right in this code block):

   2. download bundle from S3                                                                                                                                                   ┃
   3. verify SHA256                                                                                                                                                             ┃

Is there a way to disable this functionality?


MacOS Tahoe 26.5.1

GitHub Copilot CLI 1.0.63.

Affected version

GitHub Copilot CLI 1.0.63.

Steps to reproduce the behavior
