Description
I'm writing an application that prints out output from running another program. It would be nice if the text area could auto scroll to the bottom when scrolling activates.
Any kind of help you can offer would be greatly appreciated

Research direction
Start by locating the TextArea implementation and its existing scrolling behavior. Confirm how output from another program is represented and when scrolling activates; done should be a documented, usable way for the text area to remain at the bottom as new output arrives.
