I’ve built up a large collection of project folders in ChatGPT, but neither the desktop app nor the web interface provides a visible scrollbar or any clear way to navigate when the list grows beyond the viewport. Right now, I have to guess where unlisted chats might be, and there’s no way to jump to older projects without manually dragging or resizing the window.
Current behavior:
Project folders list expands indefinitely without a scroll indicator.
No draggable scrollbar, pagination, or “load more” button.
Difficult to locate or jump to chats beyond the initial visible set.
Expected behavior:
A persistent vertical scrollbar in the folder panel.
Optional infinite scrolling with a clear position indicator.
Keyboard shortcuts or search/filter to jump between folders.
Benefit:
Adding these navigation aids would make it far easier to manage dozens or hundreds of chat folders, improving workflow and reducing frustration when organizing or revisiting past projects.
Suggested solution:
Implement a native CSS/HTML scrollbar (or custom styled scrollbar) in the folder sidebar, or introduce virtual scrolling/pagination to keep performance smooth while giving users clear feedback about their position in the list.
