Ruby console scrolls to top on commandstart

HPW · 17 Apr 2009, 08:02

When I have a longer console-log and start a command like:
UI.messagebox("Test")
then the dialog 'SketchUp' show up with the text.
But the console-window scrolls to the top in that moment.
I does not see my context of the called dialog any more.
When I return from the dialog the console scroll to bottom again and shows the returned result.

Thats an odd behaviour and makes debugging not easier.
(I used only a trivial example here, I think about more complex external calls)

Yes, it has been that way since the first release of Ruby back in June 2004. We ask every release for that to be fixed.

The good news is that with V7, we did get a larger COURIER font for the Ruby Console instead of a smaller ARIAL font or whatever it was.

Perhaps I can do some more smooth talking with the Google developers and get them to fix this too. It is quite annoying, and really does slow performance on long running traces.
