# NousResearch/hermes-agent · Desktop chat not auto-scrolling to newest messages

## Open now

- Nothing open on GitHub.

Most members report that the desktop app's chat view does not follow new messages to the bottom during output, with some noting Windows and one noting the input prompt disappearing. One member is a pull request that appears to address streaming auto-scroll and composer visibility; two titles are identical.

## TL;DR

- 6 member(s): 0 open issue(s), 5 closed issue(s), 0 open PR(s), 0 merged PR(s), 1 PR(s) closed without merging.
- No fix has been merged to main; one or more PRs were attempted (see below).
- **Recommended:** review the prior/competing PR(s) below. A fix was attempted but not merged; your case may extend or revive that work.

## Maintainer resolution verdict

- Internal-tracker verdict over this cluster's issue members: `unresolved`. This is distinct from the fix status above. Weigh it yourself.

## How this cluster was grouped

- Link evidence (`STRUCTURAL_PARTIAL`): some members are connected by structural evidence (shared changed files, or a closing/superseded reference); the rest are joined by an automated relevance judgement over their text.
- Members outside that structural core may belong to a different underlying problem.
- Pairwise link density `0.23`: 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.
