Public bug reported:

If you run gnome-system-log (the gnome app that hasn't been modified to
fit in with the Unity theme) and scroll to look at a particular line, ie
so you are not on the last line of the log, when the system adds another
log entry gnome-system-log automatically scrolls to this new entry,
losing your previous position. This makes it very difficult to use.

I would expect it to follow its previous behaviour, which is that if you
are on the last line of the log, it auto-scrolls to show new entries,
but if you are not on the last line, it never auto-scrolls. It would
even be preferable if it never auto-scrolled or if there were an option
to turn auto-scrolling on and off.
