Autoscroll always on

[braddo99]

There is an autoscroll toggle button on the terminal window which does not appear to do anything. Checked or unchecked my console scrolls commands continuously. This makes it quite difficult to copy paste out of the console, which I find helpful to do when calibrating my bot. As soon as a scroll happens, the selected content becomes unselected and hence uncopyable.

I'm running on raspberry pi (octopi) and client is Chrome on Windows7

I'm marking this one now as needing some more information. Please understand that if you do not provide that information within the next two weeks (until 2015-02-04 17:40) I'll close this ticket so it doesn't clutter the bug tracker.

I think it works like it should. If autoscroll is enabled, the terminal will always jump to the last line on receiving a message. If Autoscroll is disabled, it will not jump to last line. But because there will be new lines on stack, the lines will move.

Mmm, well if the lines move at all then one is unable to accurately select content to copy from the terminal stack. I see what you are saying, but if you are already at the last line, the behavior would be identical with or without autoscroll right? Then, if in autoscroll off, you manually scroll back, the lines will continue to move at the same rate. I really don't see any positives of the current behavior but do see negatives.

@derpicknicker1, you are right about enabled Autoscroll, but with Autoscroll disabled it will jump, just not to last line. It is not logical, position must be constant from beginning of terminal, not from end, user doesn't care about stacks or registers etc.

Implemented in devel. And now please someone explain to me what else I have to do to get you people to read and adhere to the bloody contribution and bug report guidelines...
