Numbered Steps to Reproduce Problem:

Actual Results:
Output boxes never scroll down, ever.
Does the problem occur:
Every time? Or how often?
Every time.
When does the problem NOT occur?

Workarounds:

Change line 45 of output.dms to this:
scroll = (e.scrollTop+ih >= (e.scrollHeight - 8)); That will fix the issue. However I fear this is only combating the symptom and not the underlying problem. |
Lummox JR resolved issue with message:
The output control didn't always auto-scroll in cases it should have. |
Still seeing this issue occassionally in 1256.
It might have something to do with adjusting the scrollbar in one of the command panels? |
This bug BTW resides in output.dms, so if anyone wants to pitch a fix to it before I do, feel free. Any bugs that exist in the controls themselves tend to be fixable on an open-source(ish) basis.
