Issue: When using Assist in the Android Companion App, I’ve noticed that longer responses are difficult to read because the Assist window closes too easily during scroll interactions. Even when initiating contact well within the conversation bounds (which should trigger a scroll), the window interprets the gesture as a dismiss/swipe-away action. This results in accidentally closing the conversation and losing the context entirely.
Proposed Solutions:
- Conversation History: Persist conversation threads so they can be retrieved if the window is accidentally closed
- Gesture Handling: Increase the “dismiss” threshold or require a more deliberate gesture (like swiping from the edge) to close the Assist window, preventing accidental dismissal during normal scrolling.
Has anyone else experienced this? Would either of these approaches be feasible from a development standpoint?
