Sometimes, a single log entry can take up the entire grid view. <br/><br/>So the problem with "following" is that it does the same thing as "preceding", but acts in conflict.&nbsp; If both settings say 10 rows and the grid only has 5 rows, what happens?&nbsp; What if there are 40 rows?<br/><br/>It is a bit of a confusing feature, but I hope that helps.<br/><br/>Toby<br/><br/>Tue, 08 Jul 2025 20:24:04 GMTLogViewPlus Support
