OS: Windows

Continue version:

IDE version: VSCode 1.126.0

Description

When using the Continue extension in the primary/secondary side bar, resizing the container causes the Chat View to permanently "eat" a fixed width and bleed into the editor area, covering the line numbers/gutter.

Crucial detail: This bug is directly tied to the volume of chat content. When opening a fresh new session with no messages, the UI layout and resizing work perfectly. However, as the conversation grows (more chat bubbles and code blocks are rendered), the layout breaking becomes progressively worse. The dynamic content seems to be forcing a minimum width that prevents the Webview from shrinking properly.

This behavior only occurs in the Chat page; other pages work perfectly.

To reproduce

1. Open a new Chat session in the sidebar (resizing works fine here).
2. Chat with the AI until there are several messages and code blocks in the history.
3. Drag the sidebar divider to make it wider, then try to narrow it down.
4. Notice that the Chat view UI is now permanently oversized and overflows onto the editor's line numbers. The more content in the chat, the wider the "eaten" space becomes.

I also have this issue did you find a workaround?

Same problem on macOS. Downgrading to v1.3.40 worked for me.
Steps to downgrade:

1. Go to the Continue extension page.
2. Click the arrow next to the Uninstall button.
3. Select Install Specific Version...
4. Choose 1.3.40.

Same issue here.

MacOS
Continue 2.0.0
VS Code 1.126.0

When Continue on Side Bar, occupying > ~30-40% of screen width:

Seem to get worse if Continue window shrunk further down, e.g. here at default Side Bar width:

Moving to bottom Panel (where terminal is) isn't helpful either:
