ScrollUpByPaneId missing pane_id
Error message
ScrollUpByPaneId missing pane_id
What it means
Error "ScrollUpByPaneId missing pane_id" thrown in zellij-org/zellij.
Solutions
- Include the required 'pane_id' field in the protobuf message before sending it.
- Verify the sender populates all mandatory fields; add a presence check before conversion.
When it happens
Trigger: Occurs when a protobuf message received over IPC omits the required field; deserialization fails instead of using a default.
Common situations: Occurs when a client or plugin sends an incompletely populated message, often from a version mismatch or hand-crafted payload.
