Right now the scrollback pops to the bottom whenever a message is received. It would be nice to have a way to turn this off. It makes it rather hard to view the scrollback on a busy channel.
Changing target milestone and assigned.
Fixed in HEAD for everything except the collaboration chat (that will be deprecated soon). Now if the user has scrolled back to some point in the chat, the text output will not automatically scroll to the end, but it will highlight the name of the respective chat/channel.
Reopening as the UI will scroll to the bottom when the user enters a message.
Marking as bugday.

For presenting chat from others, it now only scrolls if the scrollbar is already at the bottom. If the scrollbar is moved up (i.e. scrollback to read previous chat), then there is no auto scroll when chat is received. Doesn't this handle the use case intended originally (preventing auto-scroll when reading scrollback on a busy channel)?

I disagree. If I come back to my computer and scroll up and see some messages I want to address, I have to reply to one person, scroll up, reply to another, scroll up, reply to a third, scroll up...This is very tedious.

If you want it to your design, have at it.
Added Chat Room preference to scroll output to bottom on user input, with default of false (no scrolling on input). Preference now allows user to decide whether to scroll to bottom on user input. Marking as fixed.
