Originally created by @0wwafa on GitHub (Oct 17, 2024).

Windows Terminal version

1.22.2702.0

Windows build number

10.0.19045.5011

Other Software

cmd.exe
bash.exe (wsl1)

Steps to reproduce

get some output from dir or from ls -alR so that the windows scrolls.
then scroll up
then write anything.
conhost.exe scrolls to the input line. openconsole.exe does not.

also, if a program outputs data while you are "scrolled up", conhost scrolls down.

This is a matter of taste and preference and If I where you I would put a flag in the Terminal scrolling section.

Expected Behavior

Scroll to the last line on keypress or on output.

Actual Behavior

The scroll stays where it is.

I repeat: this is not a big deal... and it's a matter of taste.. but I would put the flag in the preferences.

I like the way it works now. When I'm debugging software that writes a lot to the console, and I scroll up to see relevant output, I don’t like my focus being changed because the software output more information."

Latest version ( https://github.com/microsoft/terminal/releases/tag/v1.22.2912.0 ) scrolls down on program output....

@lhecker @carlos-zamora but still does not scroll down on keypress.. only if pressing CR

Just use selection mode from QuickEdit mode and program will be frozen.
