DevMode console view sticky scroll-to-bottom #208

Open GoogleCodeExporter opened 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago 
Found in GWT Release: 2.0.3:

Encountered on OS / Browser: MacOS X

Detailed description:

The console in DevMode is missing a very important detail with regards to 
usability: if the scroll bar is in the 
extreme-downward position, it should remain there when new log messages are 
emitted.  This way a developer 
can interact extensively with their GUI in the browser and watch log messages 
come out in their browser.

Currently the developer will not see any log messages until they

1)  switch window focus from the browser to the DevMode window, and
2)  manually scroll downward in the log

Neither of these actions should be necessary if the developer has enough screen 
real-estate to have DevMode and 
a browser both visible on the screen at the same time.

Workaround if you have one:  NONE

It seems many people have run in to this too. As a dev that uses GWT 8-12 hours 
a day in Eclipse, the lack of this feature drives me nuts, having to scroll 
through all of the output to the bottom. I've dug through all of the config 
options and context menus and can find nothing to enable this.

There was a similar bug for the popup Dev Mode window that was promptly fixed 
here:

olspec=ID%20Type%20Status%20Owner%20Milestone%20Summary%20Stars

Any traction on this issue? I'm not versed in OSGI and Eclipse plugins, perhaps 
someone else can give it a stab?

Autoscroll has been added to the Swing UI in r11381 (issue 5224), so let's just 
move that issue to the GPE tracker (it was originally reported for the Swing UI 
I believe, but instead of marking it as a duplicate of issue 5224 and 
forgetting about the GPE bug reported in comment #1, let's just re-purpose it)
