“autoscroll always activated, is hijacking user’s scrolling behaviour on new update on job log while still progressing”
Problem
Because of https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-ce/merge_requests/11663 autoscroll is always activated and is too strong in what it is intended to do. It is hijacking user’s scrolling behaviour on every new update on job log while it's still progressing. This creates the problem of a user not being able to inspect the job log while its not finished yet.
Proposal
Previously we had a button that let the user scroll to the bottom of the log, when it hit the bottom of the log auto scroll was enabled. When the user scrolls up again, the auto scroll was disabled. that is still what is intended. The only thing changed is that the scroll to bottom is now per default when opening the job log view.
