At the moment there's not a good way to read the log other than to try to copy the text out of the scrolling window and into a different program altogether. Why is it necessary to automatically scroll the text, especially when I'm trying to scroll up to read something? I understand it's neat to watch everything scroll by, but in the current implementation there's just way too much text and no meaningful way to read it because the second you try to scroll up, it immediately steals focus and scrolls back to the bottom because new text appeared. If you're going to automatically scroll, at least stop doing it if the user tries to scroll away from the bottom. Sure, take back over if you feel the need once it's scrolled back to the bottom, but otherwise you're just ensuring the text is impossible to read.

The scrolling of the text control is default behaviour when you use the AppendText method. I understand what you mean, but there isn't a nice and easy way to do it.

I always do a 'Copy to clipboard' and then paste the contents in a text editor when I want to view the log.
