i'm getting nit-picky, but scrollbar buttons that scroll by arbitrary amounts vex me. this is especially true of windows like the output window, which scrolls by an amount which is not divisible by the line height, so the text tends to 'drift' as you scroll. this could also be considered a UI defect because every scroll bar in the IDE seems to scroll by a different amount when itsbuttons are pressed. the closest thing to a standard these days seems to be to scroll by exactly one line for each button press, at least for fixed-height text. please change the buttons to scroll by this amount. see issue 57532.

Passing to Milos.
Just adding a note - this should be done so that scrolling happens by one line only up to a threshold amount of output - after that it should scroll be more lines but never more than half the total number of lines the output window can hold (otherwise pressing and holding the scrollbar button is useless if you have an immense amount of output - the threshold for this should be somewhere around 1000 lines).
still relevant for 6. marking as a defect (but lowering the priority) for the reason in the opening comment.
Reassigning to new module owner Tomas Holy.
