This Bugzilla instance is a read-only archive of historic NetBeans bug reports. To report a bug in NetBeans please follow the project's instructions for reporting issues.
Steps to reproduce: 1. go to the runtime tab 2. start tomcat 3. open "shared context log" from the tomcat's context menu 4. if the shared context log is empty or too short, run the "refresh" action on the "Web Applications" node for a couple of times 5. if there are already enough messages in the shared context log, close its output window tab 6. open the shared context log again, if we "got lucky" the output window didn't scroll down, if it did, repeat the steps 5 & 6. Attaching the outlog.txt file saved just after the output didn't scroll down.

I'm not able to reproduce it with steps you describe (not even with another tricks :) ) The output view stops scrolling if you click on it. In other words, put cursor to the other position then the end of an output text. Isn't this the case when the "bug" is happening?
I do not click on the output view so this is not the case. I can still reproduce it approximately in one out of ten retries when following the steps to reproduce. What system are you running? I can reproduce it on Linux, however I think it is reproducible on Windows too.
Thanks for the fast feedback. I'm running Linux as well with the latest daily build and jdk5 (both GTK and Ocean L&F). I will investigate it more deeply. Can you write which versions are you using? Beta or latest builds, which jdk version. Thanks
Ok, I've just been successful with reproducing it.
This is a remainder to you, the owner of this bug, that this issue has P3, is reported against 4.0 and its target milestone has not yet been set. Please set the milestone, fix the issue or change its priority by tomorrow. Thank you for helping NetBeans to get ready for code freeze.
Fixed. I hope you will not be successful in reproducing it somehow :) Checking in core/output2/src/org/netbeans/core/output2/OutputDocument.java; /cvs/core/output2/src/org/netbeans/core/output2/OutputDocument.java,v <-- OutputDocument.java new revision: 1.10; previous revision: 1.9 done Processing log script arguments...
