Summary
Adds a "Display" settings section grouping all visualization preferences, and introduces a
disableAutoScrolloption to address #17292.Changes
disableAutoScrolltoggle to prevent automatic scrolling during message streamingMotivation
While I couldn't reproduce the reported issue, this option is valuable for several use cases:
This is a common UX pattern missing from most chat interfaces, giving users control while keeping the default behavior unchanged.
The new "Display" section also improves settings organization: the "General" section was overloaded, and we had a "Reasoning" section with only one display-related option. Grouping all visualization preferences together creates better balance and discoverability.
Closes #17292
