How to avoid output into scrollable frames in jupyter notebook?

Question

Suddenly, output for statements started to appear inside scrollable frames.

I was playing with only one parameter

pd.options.display.max_rows = 1000

but after experiments, I commented this line out and restarted the kernel.

Nevertheless, one of my outputs appears inside frame.

How to avoid this?

Solution 1

To disable auto-scrolling, execute this javascript in a notebook cell before other cells are executed:

%%javascript
IPython.OutputArea.prototype._should_scroll = function(lines) {
    return false;
}

There is also a jupyter notebook extension, autoscroll, you can use for a nicer UI.

Solution 2

You can just use mouse to click on the outside of the output Frame to toggle between scrolling, it worked for me. More precisely, you have to click the square to the left of your output (see image).

Single click will toggle scroll mode, double click will hide output completely.

Solution 3

I stumbled across the same problem, a scrollbar appeared for outputs out of nowhere.

Just go to- Cell > All Outputs > Toggle Scrolling (On the Menu Bar) and outputs will go back to no scrolling.

Does resetting this to default by pd.reset_option("display.max_rows") help?

How can this affect if I restarted kernel?

[Dims]

No it didn't help.

pd.options.displays.max_rows just controls when pandas truncates output with a .... Scrollable frames are a part of Jupyter when the output for a given cell is long.

Is there a way to ENABLE auto-scrolling again after disabling using this javascript?

@Jianyu to ENABLE, you could just change return false to return true

This also worked for me. Its not obvious. Clicking on the out sidebar toggles the scrollbar for that frame.

This is a very smart solution! You don't need to change any settings of Notebook!
