Pause Proxy/HTTP history scrolling

Robin | Last updated: Oct 19, 2015 02:28PM UTC

I'd like to be able to pause scrolling on the Proxy/HTTP history tab. I'm looking back through hits but the site does polls for data every 10 seconds so the list is constantly moving. I know I could filter out the polls but for now I need them in. Wireshark does this by scrolling if you are at the top but once you move away from the top the scrolling stops.

If you sort the Proxy history by the number column, then everything new should be added at the end of the list, and the visible rows shouldn't change when items are added. That appears to be the case in our testing (Java 7 on OS X).

Hi Matthijs, have you tried Dafydd's previous suggestion of sorting the '#' column in ascending order? It appears to prevent the rows from jumping in version 2.1.04 as it adds new rows to the bottom of the list.

This would still be useful as my default sort is with the newest entries at the top.
