What were you trying to do?
Look at the console window.
What's wrong:
The console window does not show the last line entered. You
have to scroll the window to see it.
What should have happened:
When a new line is entered, the scroll bar should be moved to
allow that line to become visible.
Please describe any relevant documentation references:
To reproduce the problem:
This is evident when you just login. The last line is not
visible in the console window. I had not noticed this as I run znol
which prints out a line that I am not interested in so I was seeing
the "Session initialization completed." message and did not see
anything amiss. However just now the window popped up and I did not
see why until I used to scroll bar to display the last line which was
a message about afs losing contact with a file server.
I am surprised that noone noticed this during the testing, but I guess
that shows how few people pay attention to the console window.
