Scrolling back up in the console while data continues to be written to stdout #70

Closed sigonasr2 closed 6 months ago

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. As I work on applications in PGEtinker, occasionally I want to output data to the console repeatedly to monitor values. If I don't include a way to stop monitoring values, I have no way to scroll back up while my program continues to add info to the Console.

Describe the solution you'd like When I start scrolling back up in the Console window, the window won't immediately put the scrollbar focus back to the bottom of the panel (since it's still being updated and written to constantly)

Describe alternatives you've considered As I mentioned before, it's currently on the user to implement a way to stop producing debugging outputs everytime they want to test per-frame debugging, but gets quite annoying after constant use of it.

Additional context For an example, see: https://beta.pgetinker.com/s/TUGKC3iS9N1

As it outputs an incrementing counter number, I cannot scroll the Console window back up to look at previous values.

(As a side note, when the scrollbar is already at the bottom, the window can continue scrolling on its own. There are just some instances where interrogating a specific value while the console continues outputting would be handy.)

Thanks for the perfect example to use to test with! I'll fix this.
