ChatGPT App widget is displayed, but the streamed assistant text after the widget is not visible to users

Hi everyone, We are building a ChatGPT App. After the user asks a question, our app displays a widget, such as a map, and ChatGPT continues streaming text below it. The issue is that the conversation does not automatically scroll down as the text is being streamed. Users only see the widget, and they have to manually scroll to see the text response below it. Previously, ChatGPT would normally auto-scroll while streaming the assistant response, so users could see the new text as it appeared. With the widget displayed, this auto-scroll behavior does not seem to happen. Is this expected behavior for ChatGPT Apps/widgets, or is there a setting we need to enable so the conversation automatically scrolls while the assistant is streaming text after a widget? Thanks!
