    Hello,

    When I use Debug.Log to write out a value in console window at runtime (each thick), the console show them properly but it "stuck" to the top of the window. So, the newest values by the Debug.Log, run out of the "screen of the window space" and I must to tap the 'end button' of my keyboard to see runtime the last/newest value.

    Is there any way to see constantly the newest line of the console window? I think it is very stupid solution by the Unity team! Most of the cases the people want to see the last "log" of the console not the first and oldest ones.

    If it's not possible by the console window, is there any other way to do this? Send value to a pop-up window or something? The point is that I need to get the newest value of my variable constantly to be informed.

    (I know I could make the value public and see the newest value of it, but I ask about the "debug" solutions)

    If you can't figure out what I'm speaking about let me now and I send well explained pictures about it!
    Thanks!

    What you are asking for is the default behavior of the console window. Just make sure it's scrolled all the way to the bottom and it will autoscroll with new messages.

    Also make sure "Collapse" is not toggled on in the console window.
