--
when investigating network issues with IO graph, it would be nice to have an
option to automatically scroll the IO graph to the right end when the IO graph
gets updated periodically.

That automatic scrolling should only take place when the scrollbar thumb is
located at the right end of the scrollbar. This allows to investigate an
interesting part of the IO graph for a longer period of time by scrolling to
that location.
Once the thumb is tracked and released at the right end of the scrollbar,
automatic scrolling will go on.

This feature is similar to how most IDEs behave in there output window. For
example MSVC automatically scrolls the output window, when the cursor is
located at the end of the output. If you position the cursor anywhere else in
the output, automatic scrolling stops until you again position the cursor to
the end of the output.
