Description of the new feature/enhancement

For example, when tailing/following a log, and cursor is at the bottom. I expect the output to be scrolled down automatically.

However, if I manually scroll up to certain spot (e.g., looking at a test failure), I don't want my current view keep getting scrolled down. It should lock in place when user manually scrolls up. When user scrolls all the way to the bottom, then it should resume tailing.
