[Help][Bug] Forcing Chat window to bottom

Is there any way to force the Chat window to the bottom of the posts from within the API?   I believe a Roll20 bug has crept in with the new Roll20 front end (I'll post it to the tech team separately) - the posts from my APIs (the RPG Master series of APIs) always used to scroll the Chat window through fully to the latest, however large they were (some of the menus are quite large posts).  However, now the behaviour has changed and they don't if they are more than a few lines long.  This is especially true when two posts to Chat happen in quick succession.  So the DM or Player is forced to continually scroll the Chat window manually. Has anyone else experienced this? It would be useful if I could force the Chat window to the bottom from within the API, but I don't know of any way to do that.

Hi Richard @ Damery! This is related to the new (but not yet announced) feature that allows a GM to hide a post after it has been made (so if you accidentally click the lich's attack button during setup, you don't need to spam your chat to hide it, among other things). It looks like it fails to scroll anything that fills more than half the visible area. It is a known bug and is being worked on. If you want to use the new feature, it looks like a little 3-dot menu button to the right of the first line in any post.

The RPG Master APIs are very good at hiding GM specific stuff from the Players, so never a need for hiding anything using the three dot dropdown from my point of view.

I agree that it's annoying and I hope they fix it quickly. It greatly reduces the utility of Chat Menus as well. The ability to hide text is something that has been long requested by many other users, however. I'm sure it will be resolved.

I only noticed this today when using the Beyond20 extension and while I heard the "whoop" sound confirming a chat post, the chat didn't scroll. Just made it a little awkward trying to RP my action while using push to talk and then using a scroll wheel haha
