Joshua is already looking at how to provide a clear view of what's currently happening in the building screen. 

In the design the running task was displayed above the progress bar of the build screen to avoid the need for automatic scrolling.

As that solution seems not possible right now, Joshua is trying to fix it by inserting new rows into the build progress treeview at the top. In this way all new entries into the treeview will be immediately visible to the user without scrolling. 

This solution could be a short-term win but is not ideal and it has to be tested before making a final decision.
