Also, clicking on an area in the console, but outside the command line causes the web console to close.

I can't even tell what I'm looking at in that screenshot. Is that the command line filling the entire web console area? You pasted in the contents from the web console?

behavior's a little different on the mac. The scrollbar jumps when typing. Really, this is pretty fringe behavior. Pasting something into the input line that large is going to be problematic. It's designed to enter maybe 5-10 lines maximum.

I've copy pasted a text from web console, but it's reproducible with any kind of text.
