712553 - Up-to-date scroll position lost when certain events (Flash?) propagate/are logged

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(DevTools :: Console, defect)

Description

[Stephen Donner [:stephend] Not actively reading bugmail]

Attachment: Screenshot -- notice the scrollbar's position

Build ID: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10.7; rv:12.0a1) Gecko/20111220 Firefox/12.0a1

Steps to Reproduce:

1. Open a new tab
2. Tools | Web Developer | Web Console (make sure it's 
3. Load http://www.fox.com

Expected Result:

The viewport in the Web Console should always show the latest logged event/HTTP request, etc.

Actual Result:

It seems like--especially when Flash or other scripts log to the console--we lose the up-to-date scroll position; this makes web testing a little tough, as you can't just watch events scrolling by in real-time, continually, without having to adjust your scroll position.

I can't repro this bug. Can you still repro?

Nope, WFM with Build identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64; rv:23.0) Gecko/20130429 Firefox/23.0

I can still make the behavior happen when I click to add a filter type, but that's intended, likely, and definitely outside of the scope of this bug.
