Long outputs should not automatically scroll to the bottom of the text #6009

Description

@jackrabbit1000

Please explain the motivation behind the feature request.
When Goose AI generates a long output, the interface automatically scrolls all the way to the bottom of the message. This forces me to manually scroll back up every time just to begin reading the response from the top. This adds friction and interrupts the reading flow, especially for multi-paragraph answers or code outputs.

Describe the solution you'd like.
I’d like Goose AI to stop auto-scrolling to the bottom of long outputs. Ideally, the view should remain at the top of the newly generated message so I can start reading immediately. Alternatively, a user-controlled toggle for auto-scroll behavior would also work.

Describe alternatives you've considered.
The only workaround is manually scrolling back up each time, which becomes tedious. There’s no existing setting to disable auto-scrolling.

Additional context
This behavior happens consistently whenever the AI produces responses longer than the visible viewport, making it difficult to smoothly read the beginning of a message.

[x] I have verified this does not duplicate an existing feature request.
