I've encountered an issue when implementing the streamlit-pdf-viewer component in the document-qa application. It appears that the auto-scroll functionality of the chat history, which normally brings the view to the bottom of the chat when a user gets an answer from generative AI, stops working.
Potential Cause and Solution
I suspect this might be related to the current limitation of the st.chat_input widget, which cannot be used inside st.columns. If st.chat_input were adaptable for use within st.columns, this might resolve the issue.
Relevant Information
According to a recent comment on issue #7296 in the Streamlit repository, there is a planned implementation to solve this problem within the next three months.
Current Approach
For now, the strategy is to wait for updates or fixes to the Streamlit library.
