I'd like to recommend a simple improvement of the "Console" view, that is "auto Scroll Lock" :
- If we are displaying the last line of the console, we are in "scroll mode".
- If not, we are not in scroll mode, and continue display the same position while the console continues to get filled up.

Several linux console are doing this way, and this is so much confortable to use.

Reproducible: Always
