What's Wrong?

What's wrong: In the Claude Desktop app on Windows, clicking anywhere in the message thread and pressing up/down arrow keys does not scroll the conversation in any tab — Chat, Cowork, or Code. The only working method is dragging the scrollbar.
Expected behavior: Arrow keys should scroll the chat thread when focus is on the message area, across all tabs.
Platform: Windows 11 Pro (build 10.0.26200), Claude Desktop Version 1.3109.0 (35cbf6)

What Should Happen?

Arrow keys should scroll the chat thread when focus is on the message area, across all tabs.
