REPL output pane shouldn't auto-scroll left and right #107

I guess this is a matter of opinion, but my opinion is that it shouldn't.

I write programs that run for a long time and send status text and other outputs to the output pane as they run. When the most recently written line is long the pane auto-scrolls to the right or left to show the end of the line, meaning that it jerks around a lot and I often can't see the beginnings of the lines.

The vertical scrolling behavior is currently working well, I think, but IMHO it shouldn't autoscroll left and right. Probably any autoscrolling should set the horizontal scroll position all the way to the left, so that the beginnings of lines are visible.

I wish the line highlighting would now highlight the line even if it's wrap-ed onto several lines (this should probably be true for source code if (ever) the word-wrapping is enabled for it too) - I can't find where in code should I go change or explore this but I didn't spend much time on it
