I have a table which is updated about once a second. It's sized so that if it gets bigger, it still fits in the same display area, but scroll bars appear and it can be scrolled.  
But each time it's updated. the view resets to the top of the table.  
How can a prevent it from resetting the display to the top of the table, so I can see what's in the rest of the table?

But you can do it more simple too: A) a function node which gets an array (of lines) from the flow context and pushes the new line at the end B) a second function node triggered by ui-control gets the same context array and send it to ui-table I splittend it up to different nodes to make it easier to understand / debug - The tricky part is to scroll the table if you in…
