Auto-scroll textarea[] in formspecs

[Josselin2]

I have some textarea[] elements that (deliberately) contain more text than can be displayed. Is there some clever hack that will auto-scroll the textarea[] to the bottom, every time the formspec is displayed?

Did you perhaps already ask this question elsewhere? It seems very familiar.

No. The GUIScrollBar instance of GUIEditBoxWithScrollBar (used for textarea) can currently not be controlled by formspec elements. However, you could request a feature on GItHub to implement that using an additional argument for "textarea"..

I don't think so, I searched the forum and github for this topic, but found nothing.

Definitely a case of "two fools, one thought"
