# NousResearch/hermes-agent · Desktop long user message overlays or blocks conversation output

## Open now

- Nothing open on GitHub.

These reports describe the Desktop app's handling of long user messages (including cron-generated first prompts), where a sticky or expanded message appears to cover later messages or interfere with scrolling to agent output. The titles share this theme, though they describe somewhat different behaviors (sticky clamp, expansion overlay, blocked scrolling).

## How this cluster was grouped

- Read the members yourself before treating them as one problem.
- Pairwise link density `0.24`: the share of member pairs that carry a link, counting a structural link in full and a relevance-only link at 0.36. `1.00` means every pair is linked.
