Console: up arrow not showing history

Created on 6 May 2014 · 3Comments · Source: cbucher/console

This may be me being stupid, but when I press the up arrow, it doesn't show my command history. It scrolls up the window. And I can't see a place in the hotkey settiings to change it. To reproduce:

dir c:\
folders scroll by
press up arrow, window scrolls up

Expected behavior:

dir c:\
folders scoll by
press up arrow, then "dir c:\" is entered at the prompt.

It works from within a regular command prompt. Do I need to explicitly set the shell to windows command shell? I thought I already was because this is at the top of the window when I open console:

This is running on Windows 8.1 Update 1, 64 bit, ConsoleZ 1.10.0.14089
Thanks!

I had the same issue and it had me scratching my head for a minute or 2. It's caused by having Scroll Lock active. Just hit the Scroll Lock/ScrLk key again to clear it - no reboot required.

@GJKrupa I experience this issue, and even with Scroll lock disabled
