You need to open a terminal with the settings of your choice and Lazarus
just tells GDB to redirect the output of the debugged process to that
window. Lazarus has basically no way of knowing what your preffered
shell looks like (as there are many, many different terminal
applications on Linux).
And for me most of your points worked:
I simply started my systems default terminal application which is
configured the way I like it (it's an urxvt with scrollbar on the right,
black background, grey foreground color, fixed width font). Then I
printed the tty number and entered that in the options dialog.
When I run my application it did output to that shell window, the output
was appended at the bottom and the scrollbar scrolled down as it should
(even when I restarted my applicaton).
What could be done by the Lazarus devs though is to use the "starting
application" that's entered in the projects option, let that execute the
"tty" command and then Lazarus uses that to start GDB. This way the user
could use his/her default shell (or maybe a global "terminal" command
line option would be better)
