Description

Since I work with code that frequently results in large outputs I configured the hydrogen output to be displayed in the dock by default. Outputs that are longer than the screen height used to be viewable by simply scrolling down, however, this is no longer the

Steps to Reproduce

1. In hydrogen settings activate View output in the dock by default
2. Execute command with long output, e.g:

   for i in range(100):
       print(i)
   

3. Note that the visible output reaches 40 and the remainder is off-screen
4. Scrolling down to see the remaining output does not work
5. The only way I found is to mark any line and use <kbd>shift</kbd> + <kbd>↓</kbd> to expand the selection downwards, as the visible output section is moved with the selection.
6. This ‘downward selection method’ however results in the output slider to disappear (see screenshots) and switching to previous or later outputs is not possible until the output view has been returned to the top (again selecting an arbitrary line and pressing <kbd>shift</kbd> + <kbd>↑</kbd>)

Expected behavior

Being able to scroll output

I think we should be able to make it auto-scroll again if that was the behavioral earlier. Will take a look into it.

@juliuscrn just to clarify the behavior I am observing:

1. The second tab autoscrolls down if you switch from the first tab. The first tab doesn’t scroll at all.

2. BUT it does not scroll down automatically if you are already on the second tab when there is new output.

As an aside, I don’t actually know the intended difference between the first and second tab.
