Console log autoscroll behaviour

This is pretty minor but I’ll ask anyway…

In the video, the GridPosition Debug.Log scrolls indefinitely, so you can see the changing values as the mouse moves around, even when the number of entries exceeds 999.

But on my system (same Unity version, Windows 10), the log only autoscrolls for about the first 300 entries, then it stops scrolling, although I see the scrollbar shorten and the number of log entries count up to 999.

This happens even if I scroll to the bottom, or clear the log, or change it from 1 to 2 lines, or back again. I can’t find any setting that affects this, and if there was one, why would it scroll for the first ~300 entries before stopping?

Super weird…

Hmm I’ve never seen it randomly stop scrolling after a while without touching it. If you touch the scroll bar or click to select and entry it will stop auto scrolling, if that happens clear the console and don’t touch it and it should auto scroll.

Sometimes if you have a popout console, when you’re in maximized game view and click the console bar on the bottom, that popout can sometimes get stuck, I just close it and open another popout.

But if you never touch the console at all then it should just keep auto scrolling indefinitely.

Thanks for replying. It’s really weird, and stops scrolling all by itself - I can be completely hands-off and it stops. It happens almost every time, although strangely not every time. No pop-outs either.

I think I’m just going to have to put this one down to general Unity weirdness I think!
