Unable to click and use the scrollbar on [https://chat.openai.com/](https://chat.openai.com/), when it is at the bottom. It seems that the scroll bar is covered by the prompt textarea input form and go to top icon.

I think it started after the update that added the timestamps to the history menu. a method to see the prompt gpt gives would be going to inspect element and just deleting your question. it wont show it all if the gpt’s answer is big but it should help.

One solution is to open the inspect tool on the main window, navigate to:  
class=“react-scroll-to-bottom–css-smfoq-79elbk h-full dark:bg-gray-800”  
Now delete the class ‘h-full’ or go to the styles window and untick height: 100%;  
Now you have a scroll bar an normal functioning. Gonna have to redo this every time you refresh but it works.

I have the same problem, my work around is now to copy the answer and paste in Notebook or Word or Onenote, and after that reload the page.

Agree here. Please get rid of the fancy UI effects and use normal scrollbars. The inability to scroll back up to the answer before all the added info is a productivity killer.

There is some sort of white gradient at the bottom that hides and makes the scrollbar thumb/slider inaccessible.

This infuriated me!! Here’s how to kill it…

 ![GPT scrollbar](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/openai1/original/3X/9/5/95288fa082fdeb9671d530a53d65add3aac92b6c.png)

Now if only I can figure out how to make search results appear in the scrollbar when I’m searching in page… it’s like they decided to make the dumbest possible scrollbar.

Looks like it has been fixed for screen width 768px and up, it is a big relieve though. Thanks to ChatGPT team 🙂

I am having the same problem here, I can not scroll down or up to check above or bellow chats, also when i want to change plugins from the same chat it dont work until I start a new chat. Please Open AI team work on it. I am paying every month but you dont work on minors issues like these, it sucks.

To fix this remove the position styling, right click open inspect, then uncheck this position styling, will immediately fix the issue.

Hola.  
Yo instalé en mi navegador chrome y en mi brave de mi PC la extensión free “Scrollbar Anywhere” de chrome extensions. Con eso cuando doy click al mouse (derecho o izquierdo el que gusten) sale la “manito” en pantalla y con ello me puedo desplazar arriba o abajo sin requerir la barra de desplazamiento vertical derecha.  
No solo chatgpt tenia ese problema sino muchas IA de texto.  
Espero eso ayude a alguno.  
Gracias.  
Luis

I also have this problem occasionally when using it on the computer, but I refresh the page and wait for a while and it is fine. However, the whole process is quite annoying.😫
