topic How to stop IRC chat from scrolling to the bottom when receiving a new message in Discussions https://connect.mozilla.org/t5/discussions/how-to-stop-irc-chat-from-scrolling-to-the-bottom-when-receiving/m-p/35562#M12850 <P>I'm currently using the IRC chat of Thunderbird 115.0. Every time a new message is received, it immediately scrolls to the bottom, displaying the newest message. I don't like this at all. When I try to read older messages that I may have missed and new messages keep coming in, I have no other option but to hope that people stop chatting for a few minutes. I'm not sure if this is the right place to post this, though. However, the Feedback button inside Thunderbird led me here.</P> Mon, 17 Jul 2023 13:31:12 GMT Unscented6731 2023-07-17T13:31:12Z How to stop IRC chat from scrolling to the bottom when receiving a new message https://connect.mozilla.org/t5/discussions/how-to-stop-irc-chat-from-scrolling-to-the-bottom-when-receiving/m-p/35562#M12850 <P>I'm currently using the IRC chat of Thunderbird 115.0.
