WLM 9 Beta Message window does not auto scroll

I just downloaded the beta on my Windows vista Ultimate 64bit edition and i
notice that the message window does not auto scroll when new messages are
received. I have to manually scroll down to see new messages.
It happens when in a video call.

Re: WLM 9 Beta Message window does not auto scroll

Greetings,

This happened to me once, I sent a message and then it started working normal. Haven't been
able to reproduce it though.

Re: WLM 9 Beta Message window does not auto scroll

It happen to me several times already. When it happen and the other side say
something, the text simply don't scroll automatically. And if I write
something after, it doesn't scroll too.
It's borring like the missing send button (always have to click "Enter").
It's another step backward.

2 problems in an area supposed to let us focus on the talk only. Not good
and disturbing, to check many times if we are reading the last comment and
to leave the mouse to click on the keyboard.

At least, on 8.5, we choose wich one to use on diferent situations.

I hope you are just doing a nice "Send" button

RE: WLM 9 Beta Message window does not auto scroll

The problem is that the auto-scroll feature is disabled when the scroll is
somewhere else than the bottom. This a nice feature.
But, if you scroll all the way down, the auto-scroll shoud be reactivated.
Now, it is only activated when you press the (arrow with dash) button under
the scroll.
