[0.17.79+] Text-box no longer scrolls on "\n"

[_Attila_]

A multi-line text box used to automatically scroll when a "\n" was written to the last line back in 0.17.43
It no longer does so. Can we get this functionality back please.

read_only = true
word_wrap = true

While I am at it...control characters cannot be entered in a text box, so CR cannot be entered and acted upon. We need the ability to allow control characters to be able to more easily enter multi-line text.

How can I reproduce this? when I set read_only I can't enter a newline (since it's read only).

Read-only does not prevent you from putting text into the textbox from code !!!

It only prevents you from typing directly into it.

I use a read-only textbox to display data. I don't need to type into it. The display works, it just does not automatically scroll when I write to the last line that is displayed. As I mentioned, it used to work fine back in 0.17.43.

Ex: Create a 2-line textbox.

Put "1\n2\n3\n" into it.

Watch as the last line displayed is "2". Used to be "3" when this worked properly.

So you're asking for the text box to scroll to the bottom when the text is edited with newlines included?

[_Attila_]

Yes - like a terminal display or a DOS window so I can just append lines to the buffer to get them displayed.

I am assuming this functionality was changed on purpose. So, if there is a way for me to force this behavior, let me know and I will use that, but the way it used to work was convenient.
