Stop Chat Auto-Scrolling While Viewing Chat History

Currently it's difficult to read previous chat messages because every time someone posts a new message, the chat scrolls down. This is especially bothersome in any very active area (i.e. Jita.) Preferably, the moment you scroll up to view the history, it would stop pushing the chat up. Hopefully it would be relatively simple to code.

It's a copy+paste of this thread:

Can't say whose is the brilliant idea to lock "inactive" topic, probably the same who invented chat auto-scrolling while viewing history.

WHY EVER MAKE CHAT SCROLLABLE WHEN YOU CAN'T READ HISTORY ANYWAY???

Locking auto-scroll on manual scroll-up is how every other chat interface that I'm aware of works. Windows Messenger, Yahoo Messenger, mIRC, and a bunch of other IRC clients as well. It's just silly that CCP deviates from the established interface norm in this regard, when the deviation so obviously results in lower usability.
