Describe the bug
In BTT’s floating AI Config Assistant chat window, scrolling stops when the pointer is over a black assistant-message area. Both my Bluetooth mouse and built-in trackpad are affected.
Moving the pointer into the surrounding dark-gray margin immediately restores scrolling without clicking.
Steps to reproduce:
- Open the floating AI chat window with enough conversation content to scroll.
- Position the pointer over a black assistant-message area and scroll.
- When scrolling stops, move the pointer into the dark-gray margin beside the messages.
- Scroll again without clicking—scrolling immediately works again.
Expected behavior:
The conversation should scroll whether the pointer is over a message or the surrounding margin.
Additional observations:
-
The interruption occurs even while the pointer remains inside the chat window
-
Switching from the mouse to the trackpad does not resolve it while the pointer remains over the affected area.
-
Clicking inside the panel can also restore scrolling.
-
The active application name in the macOS menu bar does not change.
-
Other application windows do not appear affected.
-
Unused BTT mouse-scroll bindings were removed, but this behavior persisted.
-
Current workaround:
Position the pointer over the dark-gray margin beside the messages when scrolling.
**Affected input device (e.g. MacBook Trackpad, Magic Mouse/Trackpad, Touch Bar, etc.):
Microsoft Arc Mouse**
