[IPython-User] autoscrolling in html notebook

[Zoltán Vörös]

Hi Brian,

Here is a (stupid) example

In [1]: def foo():
     """ stupid docstring
stupid docstring
stupid docstring
stupid docstring
stupid docstring
stupid docstring
stupid docstring
stupid docstring
stupid docstring
stupid docstring
stupid docstring
stupid docstring
stupid docstring
stupid docstring
stupid docstring
stupid docstring
stupid docstring
stupid docstring
stupid docstring
stupid docstring
"""
         for i in range(50):
             print i

In[2]: foo()

In[3]: foo()

Now, at this point, the active cell is the fourth input. If I keep 
pressing the up arrow, I get to the first cell, and the browser scrolls, 
but not to the very top. I don't see the first line (def foo():), even 
if the cursor is there. The browser stops scrolling at that point. Here 
is a screen shot after the browser stopped scrolling.



You can see that there is a small gap on the right hand side, where the 
scroller is. I think that you'll also realise that this is not the 
development version, but I have tested it there, too, with the same 
results.
I don't know, it might be the browser, which is firefox 9.0, but I have 
no idea.

I think this would be cool, but perhaps others should add their voice to 
this. Others might want it otherwise.
And I hope you didn't get me wrong: the notebook *is* fantastic, and 
this is really just a small nuance I can live with, but I believe that 
if this is something easy to fix, then it would be even better.
Cheers,
Zoltán
