Scrolling in chat box

[Bende]

Most likely there is a very simple solution to this that I haven't found yet.

 

I use the flash version. When I scroll up in the chat box the auto-scroll stops. This is of course very good. However, when I am done reading whatever I was looking for earlier in the chat, I want to scroll to the end and want auto-scrolling to resume. It doesn't. The only way I found to keep up with current chat is to log out and log back in again. Surely there is an easier way?

I am fairly certain that this can be avoided by making sure you scroll ALL the way to the bottom. Sometimes the position of the scrollbar does not make this completely obvious, especially if there has been a lot of chat.

 

When it looks like the scrollbar is at the bottom, click the down arrow a couple of times in order to make sure.

 

If this doesn't help, please let me know.

 

Someone else reported this issue recently so it is possible (though unlikely in my view) that there is a new bug here. If so, one way around it without logging out is to right click in chat area and then select "Clear chat" in the menu that appears. That will wipe out any existing chat, but the new chat you receive will scroll properly.
