Vscode-jupyter: [Feature Request] scroll past the end in Python Interactive window

[StevenLi-DS]

Environment data

• VS Code version: 1.30.2
• Extension version (available under the Extensions sidebar): 2018.21.1
• OS and version: Windows 10
• Python version (& distribution if applicable, e.g. Anaconda): Anaconda Python 3.6
• Type of virtual environment used (N/A | venv | virtualenv | conda | ...): conda

Actual behaviour

Unlike the code editor, the current version of the extension does not support scroll past the end in the Python Interactive tab. The only way to bring the output cells on the screen up is to run empty cell, which is a common practice in the data science community by people using Jupyter. People in the community have been requesting this feature of scroll past the end for a while.

I wonder if the vscode term can make this happen!

Not sure why is this necessary? Just so you can see the output at the top?

We can add extra space at the bottom, but then the scrollbar appears when there's nothing to scroll.

[StevenLi-DS]

Indeed. I think it is the same reason why we have this in the code editor? I think to add some extra space at the bottom or add a setting for it is not a bad idea.

This is actually driving me crazy as I can't see the end of the stuff I just entered.

@rchiodo any update on this one buddy?

[rchiodo]

We move issues to the backlog when we're about to work on them. This one is not currently a high priority.

I don't think it would be tough to implement. The control we created to host the cell results would just need a div added after the list of results.
