Contributor guide

Research direction
The bug occurs in the debug console widget. Examine the widget's scroll event handling in theia/packages/debug/src/browser/console/debug console widget.ts. Ensure that when the user scrolls, the selected range is preserved. Consider using a selection change listener or adjusting the widget's scroll behavior. Check if the issue has been addressed in later versions; if not, implement a fix to keep selection visible during scroll.
