[FIXED] Prevent Jupyter screen from jumps down after cell evaluation

Issue

Whenever i evaluate a cell (Shift+Enter) jupyter moves the screen down so that the output is shown, assuming the cell is to big to fit on the screen entirely. I find this feature rather annoying as it jumps so fast that i sometimes lose track where i just was when debugging.

Is there a way to modify this behavior or to disable automated screen adjustments entirely?

I use a standard jupyter installation without any modifications.

The version of the notebook server is: 5.2.0 The server is running on this version of Python: Python 3.5.4rc1 (default, Jul 25 2017, 08:53:34) [GCC 6.4.0 20170704]

Current Kernel Information:
Python 3.5.4rc1 (default, Jul 25 2017, 08:53:34)

Solution

The Shift+Enter command is run cell, select cell below, so if you are debugging a cell this is probably not what you want. If you use Ctrl + Enter, that is just run cell and should not move your cell cursor.

This may be what is causing your issue, as jumping to the next cell would also show you your output, misleading you on the cause of your issue. Using Ctrl + Enter in my 5.2 notebook does not move my screen position at all.
