Given the difficulty with immitating the auto-scroll, a JS API for enabling this would likely make sense. I am less keen on changing isBusy semantics — your issue here sounds more like a general UI request.

Ah, I completely misunderstood the meaning of "isBusy", and have now removed it from the script.

I basically was looking for a way to make that spinner in the top-right corner disappear. The window in question will be open for hours, and stuff moving on my desktop is distracting...

As for what I am doing I respond to that in the other thread.

Thanks
