Not sure why you consider the scenario you described relevant for what
comint-scroll-to-bottom-on-input controls. The scenario that I think
is relevant is this:
. M-x shell
. move point back to some place in the buffer other than the last
shell prompt
. type something
When comint-scroll-to-bottom-on-input is non-nil, point moves to the
last shell prompt before your input is inserted; when the variable is
nil, whatever you type is inserted where point was, without moving it
anywhere.
This behavior seems consistent with the doc string of
comint-preinput-scroll-to-bottom, the only function that references
that variable:
Go to the end of buffer in all windows showing it.
Movement occurs if point in the selected window is not after the process mark,
and `this-command' is an insertion command. Insertion commands recognized
are `self-insert-command', `comint-magic-space', `yank', and `hilit-yank'.
Depends on the value of `comint-scroll-to-bottom-on-input'.
