Title:
scrolling text view: auto-scroll to bottom behavior
Status in “xserver-xorg-video-intel” package in Ubuntu:
Invalid
Bug description:
I initially reported this as a bug against the gnome-system-log in the
gnome-utils package (https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/748027) but was
informed by Sebastien Bacher <[email protected]> that the problem was
upstream and I should report the problem here. I don't know what
package to report it against because I don't know what package x11's
scrolling text view is in.
Here is my original statement of the problem:
I am trying to read earlier entries in the kern.log or the syslog so I
use the scroll bar on the text view to attempt to scroll back but I am
constantly thwarted by gnome-system-log scrolling to the tail of the
file because a new line was added to the log. gnome-system-log does
this even WHILE I am dragging the scroll elevator up attempting to
view earlier entries in the log!
I appreciate the value of automatically scrolling to the tail of the
log when a new entry is added. But doing so when the user is
attempting to scroll back to read earlier entries is thwarting the
user's use of the scroll bar.
I suggest that if the user has scrolled back to view earlier entries
in the log, gnome-system-log should suspend it's "scroll to tail when
new entries added" behavior until the user has scrolled to the end of
the log again.
