Automatically scroll to the last packet during live capture does not work as
expected. Depending on what packet is selected, it tries to find related
packets and jumps up and down in the packet window instead of remaining at the
bottom.
So I found in Preferences, Advanced, (very last item)
gui.packet_list_show_related and made that False. That turns off the visual
line in the first column but the list still jumps back and forth.

Just in case you aren't following my description, with auto scroll to last
packet in live capture = on

Example

screen top -----

No.

9001

9002

9003

screen bottom ----


then it all of a sudden jumps to


screen top -----

No.

1001

1002

1003

screen bottom ----


then jumps back to bottom


screen top -----

No.

9100
