Auto Scroll Wont Scroll All The Way

When i use auto scroll inside the Arduino IDE, it is always one line behind.

I.E.

Some text with auto scroll on
some more
/********** Bottom of Serial View **********/
Oh Sh*t! I Cant Read This Important information!

Is there anything i can do to fix this?

It's a know bug in IDE 2.0. I'm not sure which one covers is in Issues · arduino/arduino-ide · GitHub, probably Serial Monitor scroll is incomplete when autoscroll is enabled · Issue #1736 · arduino/arduino-ide · GitHub

Not in IDE 2.0. Either use IDE 1.8.19 or use an external terminal program.

I've moved your topic to the dedicated IDE 2.0 section of the forum.

what external terminal can i use?

You did not mention which operating system you're using. I'm using Windows 99% of the time and use coolterm, realterm or teraterm. In Linux there is e.g. minicom.

Be aware that when using any program outside IDE 2.0 that uses the serial port, you will have to close the port in that program before performing an upload. You will also have to close the serial monitor in IDE 2.0 to be able to use the external terminal program. It's a bit of a slap but usually worth it (e.g. you can save the received data to a file).

Thank you! (I primarily use windows and a lil bit of Linux occasionally too lol)
