Disable auto scrolling when executing cell.

I have searched for similar issues related to this topic but could not find any.

Expected behaviour

When executing a cell, auto scrolling should not occur.

Actual behaviour

When executing a cell with a lot of code, I am auto scrolled to the top of the cell. In order to view the output I have to scroll all the way down the cell.

Steps to reproduce:

Enter a blank notebook and occupy many lines with the character:

'a'

Execute the cell with Ctrl + Enter and you window view will be scrolled to line 1 of the cell.

Any help/guidance would be appreciated.

I am experiencing the same issue. I would love to know of a workaround if anyone finds one.

I'm getting this issue too when I have many plots that are in the output. Is there a specific flag that we can put in settings.json to prevent this?

Still experiencing this bug. Makes the notebook almost unusable in many instances, as it not only takes you way far away from your code, but also nearly always scrolls to the bottom of the output (so at most I can see the bottom half of last line of text printed), instead of the head of the output.

Is there a JSON setting to control this behavior?

I tried the steps in the original issue description but I couldn't reproduce anymore in both latest Stable and Insiders. Can anyone else offer more more reproduce steps?

@A5H1Q could you attach a video or gif of your issue along with some information such as what OS version and VS Code version you're on?
