Xterm.js: Viewport should only scroll down on input, not when the pty writes

Created on 3 Aug 2016  路  1Comment  路  Source: xtermjs/xterm.js

Similar to gnome-terminal, if the user is scrolling up to look at past output and the currently running program adds output to the terminal, the viewport should not scroll and interrupt what they are looking at.

Details

  • Browser and browser version: Chrome 52
  • OS version: Ubuntu 16.04
  • xterm.js version: d2cef6f29db8e4e47b82000f8415b849a7756728

    Steps to reproduce

  1. Run while [ "true" ]; do echo "ping"; sleep 1; done
  2. Scroll up, notice the viewport is moved to the bottom every second

This is maybe another candidate for a customisation setting as it is in xterm.
