Hi I am currently using arduino IDE 2.3.2 version on Windows 10 and have a problem where Serial Monitor outputs lines from up to buttom while the oldest line remains on top. In order to see the newest line I have to scroll down. My code is generating a lot of lines every 500ms so I do not understand how am I supposed to catch the newest line. Is it a bug? Is there any command to resolve it? Any help is appreciated. Thanks

Hi @hekk_tech. Please check to make sure that "Autoscroll" is enabled in Serial Monitor. Autoscroll is controlled by this icon on the Serial Monitor toolbar:
The indication of whether it is enabled or disabled is the background color of the icon. In the screenshot above, I have it enabled.

You are welcome. I'm glad it is working now.
The Arduino IDE developers are tracking the need to make it easier for users to understand the purpose of this icon here:
