Wireshark · Wireshark-dev: [Wireshark-dev] Feature request: option to auto scroll IO graph when scrollbar thumb is at right end

[Reinhard Nissl <rnissl@xxxxxx>]

Hi,

when investigating network issues with IO graph, it would be nice 
to have an option to automatically scroll the IO graph to the 
right end when the IO graph gets updated periodically.

That automatic scrolling should only take place when the 
scrollbar thumb is located at the right end of the scrollbar. 
This allows to investigate an interesting part of the IO graph 
for a longer period of time by scrolling to that location.
Once the thumb is tracked and released at the right end of the 
scrollbar, automatic scrolling will go on.

This feature is similar to how most IDEs behave in there output 
window. For example MSVC automatically scrolls the output window, 
when the cursor is located at the end of the output. If you 
position the cursor anywhere else in the output, automatic 
scrolling stops until you again position the cursor to the end of 
the output.

Feel free to ask for further information. Thanks in advance.

BTW: Wireshark (64-bit) 1.10.5 (SVN Rev 54262 from /trunk-1.10)

Bye.
