AI Assistant window smooth scrolling speed
When the "Smooth Scrolling" setting in Rideer is off, the scrolling speed in both Editor and AI Assistant window is about 3 lines. This is ok.
But when the setting is on, the speed in Editor is still 3 lines, but in AI Assistant window it's about 1.5 line, which requires too much scrolling. It should also be 3 lines (or set separately)

I tried to reproduce the issue, and it looks like when the smooth scrolling option is disabled, the AI Assistant tool window scrolls for half of a line in a single stroke. While the editor scrolls for for one whole line in a single stroke.
So it is indeed a fraction slower in the AI Assistant tool window compared to the editor. Do you have a different behavior?
Hmm, now when I made a second test, it looks like in Editor the scroll speed is always 3 lines and in AI Window it is always about 1.5 line, no matter if smooth scrolling is on or off. If I notice a difference in the future I'll update this post.
Anyway, in my opinion, the scrolling speed in AI window is too slow. The AI Assistant is quite eloquent, i.e. it gives thorough long answers with lot of code. I don't say it's bad, it's ok. But while it is answering, the AI window scrolls down. So, in order to read the anwer from beginning, I need to scroll long way up. Then sometimes I need to skip the cited code and read the comments, so once again scrolling long way down or up.
Oh, and by the way, I have the Windows setting for number of lines to scroll with mouse set to 3. When I changed this setting to 1, then in Rider the Editor scrolled by 1 line (as expected) and the AI Assistant window scrolled about 0.5 line.
Thank you for the information.

P.S. Hint: use a mouse with an infinite scroll :)
