Comment # 13 on bug 10601 from Peter Wu

The fix is incomplete, auto_scroll_live is not used by GTK+ *only*, it will
also trigger a "goto bottom" action in file.c. In Qt, auto_scroll_live is set
once from preferences an never touched again after that. This monkey patch
"fixes" the problem...

     tail_at_end_ = enabled;
     if (enabled && capture_in_progress_) {
         scrollToBottom();

... but it seems duplicated functionality. How do you want to proceed here?
Make Qt trigger periodic scroll updates (using the timer) or let the capture
process (file.c) trigger scrolling jumps?

I also noticed that a full CPU core is hogged while capturing, could it be
related to this bug?
