Windows build number

No response

Other Software

No response

Steps to reproduce

  1. generate output (i.e. git log --oneline)
  2. open the search box (ctrl+shift+f) and perform a search (i.e. a git commit sha)
  3. Observe: the search may scroll up to show you the result (good!)
  4. Move focus to the terminal control (the search box should stay open, that's important!)
  5. generate more output (i.e. git status)

Expected Behavior

I should be scrolled at the bottom to see the new output.

Actual Behavior

When new output is generated, I get scrolled to the latest search match.
