Allow reading of output even though new output is still being appended #7974
Description
What specific problem does this solve?
I like to read the detailed output from the LLM in order to understand what the LLM is planning, both to verify that I agree with this direction & also to use it as a learning tool.
Currently the window always refocuses at the bottom when new input comes in, which makes this really hard, unless I wait until the end, which is really wasteful of time (I have a lot of auto-approvals, so the LLM gets a really good chance to think & explore, so the final output can come a long time after the start of the response, which I am trying to read).
I think my ideal would be to never refocus automatically at the bottom if I have manually scrolled up until/unless I scroll back down to the bottom again.
A reasonable alternative would be some kind of checkbox to 'Stop autofocus'
