cannot stop auto-scrolling in blue ocean console
Issue Type: Bug Bug
Assignee: Unassigned
Components: blueocean-plugin
Created: 2019-01-29 21:14
Environment: 1.10.2
Priority: Minor Minor
Reporter: boris ivan

When I have console for an active stage open, I see the new messages added real-time to the bottom of the console window, so far so good.

But if I want to scroll up to see messages printed a couple seconds ago, or scroll up so I can collapse the console window so I can view the pipeline, I'm prevented from doing so because every new log message forces the focus back down to the bottom. In legacy Jenkins, being at the bottom of the window would continue to update, but if the user scrolled up away from the bottom, it would not force focus back down to the bottom with every new message.

When the messages come quickly, I'm forced to spam the 'home' key on the keyboard to try and jump up to the top and click the 'collapse' icon as quickly as possible, but not usually not quick enough. There should be some standardized way of preventing the auto scroll.

Re: cannot stop auto-scrolling in blue ocean console

I found this maybe a learning experience rather than a bug.  The auto tail will happen if you click on the stage node again and open the text box. To stop it auto scrolling you use the scroll bar.  What is annoying is auto open because if another stage completes, it seems to open that one in your view.  This happens on parallel steps.

Hi Pete Moore – for me, using the scroll bar doesn't work, though I found that if I use the mouse wheel first, it works.

Specifically: assuming I've clicked on an active stage, then opened the text box for the step that's active, it will auto scroll and keep focus at the bottom. At that point, if I do nothing other than attempt to use the scroll bar to bring the pipeline back into view (i.e. at the top of the browser window that was otherwise scrolled out of view because of all the text in the text box) – as soon as I release the scroll bar, it would jump back down to the bottom of the text window, as soon as the next log message was printed.

But what I've found since then, is that while I'm at the bottom of the active text box – if I use the middle mouse button to scroll up a few lines, that 'breaks' the connection such that I can subsequently use the scroll bar controls, or continue to use the middle mouse button, or anything, and it won't auto-jump back down to the bottom of the text window when the next log message appears.

But without using that middle mouse button first, using the scroll bar controls would allow me to move up.... but as soon as I let go, it jumped back down.

Auto-scrolling and auto-open when a stage completes is tremendously annoying when viewing a larger pipeline with many parallel stages.  Any change in status to one stage scrolls me to the bottom of the screen.

This issue causes me to navigate away from Blue Ocean 90% of the time. And the issue itself makes it hard to reach the link that will take me to the standard view of the build I'm in.

Blue ocean is not usable at all with this bug! I am trying to have a detailed look at the ci log in blue ocean but every  now and then it scrolls to the bottom. Travis CI has a button for that which toggles autoscrolling.
