Serial stops when I click the window

VS 2012 with the debug add on.

Running a sketch with Serial.println's only (no breakpoints).
The sketch runs fine and the Serial.println's appear in the Output window as expected.

When I Left Click in the Output window the output stops and cannot be restarted without a recompile.

I forgot to say why this is important to me.
I need (want) to capture the text in the Output window.  Best way is to to left click and strip the text then copy 'n past.  That works but the window needs to restart running.

This might just be confusion over how the trace/output windows work in vs. I have ensured the serial works the same way.

You can click in any window of this type to pause the display allowing copy/paste/review. To re-start simply scroll to the end or press CTRL+END or select the last line/char of the feed.
