This did not work for me. A couple of things could help in this post for those who may not do this as much as you. First, it wasn’t exactly clear where you have to go actually change from hidden to auto. I found it after a while! And then it wasn’t clear how you apply that change. It seems that it makes the change in real time, no “apply” step needed. However, it doesn’t scroll. I went back into the inspect mode and it does say overflow: auto; but it still does not scroll. I’m on Safari.
That would be nice too. It’s working for me on my iPhone but not my iPad, but I’m running an old OS there because it’s an older iPad. I thought that was the problem but I’m seeing now that it’s bigger than that.
If you can’t scroll up or down , try this: press the Tab key and the Up Arrow key together. This will highlight the “Share Chat” button (used to share the link of the chat). Once it’s highlighted, the scrolling functionality should start working again.
if your on desktop, just go into the inspector (right click and click inspect), look in the elements in the page, find the element that holds the content and it will have a class “flex-1 overflow-hidden” , and delete the overflow-hidden words and click enter and then you can scroll. its what ive had to do today
perfect!! thank you!!! it really works! 
This fix worked for me on my old iPad Air using Chrome. I went to Bookmarks on Chrome, clicked on Edit, selected an old existing bookmark, pasted in the JavaScript code below, and selected Done. When I got back into ChatGPT and experienced the stuck input line, I used the bookmark, and Wala! The input line in the chrome browser with ChatGPT was unstuck!
Thankfully, the community has developed this temporary workaround using a “bookmarklet”—a small piece of JavaScript code saved as a bookmark—that can adjust the input box’s behavior. This method involves creating a bookmark with the following JavaScript code:
javascript
javascript:(function () {
document.querySelectorAll('html *').forEach(function (node) {
var s = getComputedStyle(node);
if (s['overflow'] === 'hidden') {
node.style['overflow'] = 'visible';
}
});
})();
By executing this bookmarklet, the input box should become unstuck, allowing for normal scrolling. Please note that this is a temporary solution, and the issue may reoccur upon refreshing the page, requiring you to run the bookmarklet again.
For a more permanent resolution, it’s advisable to keep your ChatGPT application and iPadOS updated to the latest versions, as updates often include bug fixes and improvements. Additionally, consider reaching out to OpenAI’s support channels to report the issue and receive the most current information regarding a fix.
In the meantime, utilizing the bookmarklet can help mitigate the problem and improve your user experience.
Pressing the tab key allows me to scroll up and down with the arrow keys on Windows 11 with Firefox (other solutions did not work)
hey zwaa,hope you doing well,i wanted to thank you for sharing your solution to the ChatGPT scrolling issue — it worked perfectly for me, and I really appreciate the effort you put into creating it.
I’d love to share your method with the Chinese-speaking community, as many users there are experiencing the same issue. I believe your solution could help them a lot! Of course, I want to make sure I have your permission to do so before I post anything. I’ll make sure to credit you and link back to your original post if you agree.

Where do I right click? I’ve gone in the inspect element but if I right click the text it’s not finding any .overflow-auto
found it, right click the logo “CHATGPT v”
I have figured out to use ctrl - f and use a random character like : and use the arrows to navigate through the response that I can’t see without scrolling.
OpenAI should resolve this bug, it shouldn’t be so difficult. Maybe apps need new hardware but Web is for everyone.

I have the scroller. so I’m the luckiest one here.
Still not solved after 5 months
Having the same exact problem
I think it has something to-do with the JS framework that is being used. I think they are using React. I also experience scrolling issues on other websites that uses React, such as fab.com which is the Epic games assist store.
