I don't know if anyone responded to you already. For what is worth I ran into this problem too. In my case, it turns out that if you set the compilation-window-height to a value that is less than the number of line it takes for the command running in the compilation window the scroll output does not work. In other words, running the java class calls something like: cd c:/your directory javaw -classpath "large classpath taking around 12 lines" MyJavaClass In this case setting the compilation-window-height to anything less than 12 will cause the output not to scroll properly. Quick fix: set the compilation-window-height to a larger value. or don't set it at all. If anyone has a real fix to this please, let me know.
