So I'm writing some javascript¹ for a textbox that automatically scrolls when new content is added but only if you're already scrolled to the bottom, and I'm actually more than a little confused about how to detect I'm already at the bottom. What would be a lot easier, the way I'm doing this, is to detect that the bottom item is visible on screen, and to force a rescroll when a change occurs while bottom item is visible. So scrolling ALMOST to the bottom would "lock"

¹ okay, Rust. It's cursed

That's not… *quite* the behavior people expect, is it? How annoying would that behavior be?

@mcc [guy whos used an xterm before voice] seems reasonable to me

@mcc (i think you want "scroll at bottom" rather than "last item visible", but otherwise)

@nabijaczleweli do you think that would be better than this? https://mastodon.social/@mcc/116869331732045586
