Latest Beta has console order reversed

#1 Post by Sling »

The subject says it all. Is this a bug or for some reason intentional. It had me going for a bit as I’m so used to the other way because it’s been that way for as long as I can remember. Can we have it back the way it was please.

Haha! It was reversed intentionally to make it match a conventional console print.

For the record I hate it this way. I was so used to the way it was for so long. I’ll play some more. I would hope the newest lines are always visible else it’s a step backwards.

Haven’t tested the new version, but the new console was long awaited.
Of course the text should scroll upwards so the latest print() is always visible, but in logical order, the older lines being the first ones in the normal order of reading.

Having the console running backward was always a nonsense to me, especially when trying to debug, as new events would appear on top of older one, to the contrary of the normal way.

Agreed.
This is how it 'should' always have always been imo - ie: logical order (with scroll) - standard practice. so is correct for stdout - and logical and intuitive - and NORMAL practice.

Well It still prints like it used to. I have not changed anything. Might be that it was changed after I did that and now back again. Don't know.

Unfortunately this is not the case and it sucks IMHO. @Corjan please fix this its very annoying having to scroll to the bottom each time to see the latest output.

If you want to keep the new order which I agree is more conventional then please make the scroll bar automatically scroll to the bottom so it always shows the latest output. Because the display order has changed the scroll needs to change with it. You then scroll upwards if you want to see older output.

@Sling

If you move the slider to the very bottom then the last print is shown like you requested.

Keith, I understand but that needs an action. The newest print should be visible without any action.
