Whenever I scroll upward, the chat automatically jumps back to the bottom, making it impossible to read or access earlier messages.
if I scroll up to reference an earlier message, wrapping to a new line (Shift+Enter) often jumps the view back to the bottom and I lose my place.
the ability to scroll by clicking the middle mouse button in the chat window would be great.
page up + page down don’t work either: I cant quick scroll up in chat via page up and home and vice versa downwards.
