Another somewhat similar issue is that the native notebook doesn't snap to the bottom when it was scrolled all the way down before and new content enters the IW from executing a cell. You have to manually scroll down to see what happened every time you run a cell.

The builtin interactive window works the same as the webview impl, hens removed bug button. We do have Ctrl+Home/End keybindings but they don't work when the focus is inside a text editor. For scrolling without changing focus, we can use the reveal* API on the notebook editor.

FWIW @janosh this should be fixed in tonight's Jupyter extension Insiders build, we were tracking this problem as microsoft/vscode-jupyter#6603 Please let us know if it's not working for you!

@joyceerhl Thanks, good to know!

Is there also an issue tracking the fact that the whole cell input is rendered above each cell's output? The former web view was much more concise, rendering only the first line which saves a lot of scrolling. Is this intended/meant to stay? I much preferred to old behavior.

@janosh, @rebornix is checking in something like this today :)

The native IW has gotten much better over the last few weeks! Great work!

A remaining small issue is that when switching between multiple IWs, I'm often not at the scroll position where I left off when returning to the same window. Instead the IW has usually jumped to the top. Has this been reported/is it being tracked somewhere?

@janosh, I haven't seen that particular issue reported though we do have some other autoscroll issues around. Please enter it and thanks for all the great feedback!

Setting back to a bug. The old interactive window did indeed support Ctrl+Home and Ctrl+End, provided the focus isn't in one of the code areas of an executed cell. In other words, in the new implementation, I think it's ok to make these keystrokes navigate within the code editor if the caret is currently inside the code editor. But if it's outside, then Ctrl+Home and Ctrl+End should scroll to the top and bottom of the IW.
