Public bug reported: If you run gnome-system-log (the gnome app that hasn't been modified to fit in with the Unity theme) and scroll to look at a particular line, ie so you are not on the last line of the log, when the system adds another log entry gnome-system-log automatically scrolls to this new entry, losing your previous position. This makes it very difficult to use.
I would expect it to follow its previous behaviour, which is that if you are on the last line of the log, it auto-scrolls to show new entries, but if you are not on the last line, it never auto-scrolls. It would even be preferable if it never auto-scrolled or if there were an option to turn auto-scrolling on and off.
