Disable Autoscroll of Build Log
« on: March 02, 2007, 08:11:12 pm »
When compiling large projects and I get compile errors, I like to start working on the errors while everything else is still compiling. There is typically not enough information in the Build messages window and I can't view the Build log window, until the entire project is done compiling.  It would be nice to not auto-scroll that window.

I agree. I think the best solution would be something like this: Use auto-scrolling but when the user scrolls at least one line up then cancel auto-scrolling. If the user scrolls back to the bottom continue with auto-scrolling. It is the exact same way as mirc and xchat handle this problem with their text windows.
Real Programmers don't comment their code. If it was hard to write, it should be hard to understand.
