Description Martin Bednar 2015-11-16 14:22:32 UTC
When chatting in the plasma applet, when the "window" gets full, it doesn't scroll to the last message (either received or sent). 

Reproducible: Always
Comment 1 Martin Bednar 2015-11-22 15:36:38 UTC
It appears that it does autoscroll, sorry for the noise. 
The why : my mouse is slightly broken, so every scroll down scrolls a tiny bit back at the end up so the window was slightly "not at end", thus disabling autoscroll (if I understood the QML code correctly).

Changing this to a "feature request" about autoscrolling : Autoscroll down at every outgoing message.

this bug makes the chat application actually unusable. surprised that it's only open sinds 2015.....
Comment 3 Christoph Feck 2019-02-22 16:01:46 UTC
Resolving based on the assumption that the plasmoid uses the telepathy text-UI component. If this is not fixed with KDE Applications 18.12, please add a comment or re-open the ticket.

Fix was only done on data/Template.html and not in the theme Template (such as data/styles/WoshiChat.AdiumMessageStyle/Contents/Resources/Template.html)

I've tried to update the WoshiChat template on my installation and it worked, scrolling was back again.

Dear user, unfortunately Telepathy is no longer maintained.

Please migrate to another solution, e.g. for Jabber a possibility is Kaidan, for Matrix a candidate is NeoChat.
