Helpful AF. I hate this bug. One thing: I can't use it in a short window. When steam switches to the mobile style or what that is at a certain window size, the autoscroll stops working again. Would be awesome if you fixed that because that's a really convenient size for chatting and watching videos at the same time.

does what it says, although you need to open a window with it (though i do like the privacy implied by this)

Quite good -- if you're in one on one conversation it keeps the scroll going. If I change between 2 people that I'm chatting with (click on new name) when the chat area loads it isn't scrolled to the bottom.
