Description

I'm making an application, and I was wondering if I could make it so I have multiple Windows with FormattedTextControllers that automatically scroll to the bottom (basically just a TextField with formatted text). And if possible it would also be nice if it would only autoscroll if it was already scrolled to the bottom. Is this in any way possible? Thanks.

Research direction

Start by examining how FormattedTextControllers, Windows, and TextField handle scrolling and formatted content. Determine whether multiple windows can support conditional automatic scrolling when already at the bottom. Done means the requested behavior is supported or its limitations are documented, with relevant tests added if the existing components expose a test path.
