Current build screen?

Hello guys, the builds screen (e.g. https://gitlab.com/wald-meta/data/builds/2580168 ) is sometimes a frustrating experience:

  1. My previous build failed, so I made some changes and I'm watching the above screen with autoscroll enabled
  2. The build fails again, so I make some more changes and git push
  3. I want to see the new build, so I click Pipelines at the top of the screen
  4. The git push takes a while, so the new build isn't on the Pipelines screen yet, it doesn't seem to get updated automatically, so I hit Ctrl-R a few times until it shows up
  5. I click the blue Running badge
  6. This doesn't take me to the build though, it takes me to a /pipelines/:id screen (I'm not sure what the purpose of this screen is), I click the blue Running badge again on this screen
  7. I am now back at the build screen for the build I want to watch, the build screen did not remember my autoscroll preference so I hit enable autoscroll again

I was thinking it would be useful to have a per user or group current build screen, which shows the build screen for whatever I pushed last and refreshes automatically when I push a new commit -- so I can just keep that screen open on a separate laptop/monitor and not touch it while I work on my project.

Although anything which improves the workflow described above would be appreciated :)
