Ah, at least that explains what happens.

Well, I think at least the following is unintuitive:

I've steadily get packets rushing in.

- If I switch off scrolling (by using the toolbar - which is the obvious 
way to do that?) to have a look at some packets and then turn scrolling 
back on - scrolling won't start again as the scrollbar is not "down" - 
this is a bug now IMHO
- If I select a packet in the packet list, I would expect the autoscroll 
to stop - this should be enhanced


So two questions:

- should the autoscroll mode be disabled (e.g. displayed by the toolbar 
icon) when scrolling is disabled? Having both a "visible" criteria 
(autoscroll icon) and an "invisible" (position of scrollbar) sounds not 
very intuitive to me - but I may be wrong here
- should "go to last packet" turn the autoscroll mode back on automatically?


What I don't like about the current implementation, is that you have to 
know how things work to be able to use them - and the visual feedback is 
pretty poor ...
