Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 175517

(Core Graveyard :: Error Console, defect)

The JavaScript console does not have vertical scrollbars so when your javascript
events list gets longer than the js console window you can't see any new events
because the list cannot be scrolled.

The window has horizontal scrollbars and you can scroll horizontally if you need
to but no vertical scrollbars.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create a HTML page with JavaScript that should produce error in your version
of Mozilla.
2. Type "javascript:" in the location bar
3. Keep refreshing the page (or whatever triggers the js error) and watch as the
js events list gets filled up.

Actual Results:  
No vertical scrollbars on js console window

Expected Results:  
Vertical scrollbars so events can be scrolled

here's a workaround that works on linux at least:

grab a corner, make the window real small, then enlarge again: scrollbars snap
into place.

Search for 'scroll', component 'Javascript Console'. Ah, look at that.
