dbgOutput doesn't work anymore after you open the dbg console. It does work before you do that.
Crying is not a proper retort!

Hmm. Not sure I get it.
(dbgOutput) works fine with the console open. Could you describe (explicitly) what you did to test?

ok some more tests and I see what it is doing.
When you first open the console it stores what should be there and doesn't update until you start typing. Opening and closing the console doesn't update the console.
For the test I had a timed script output to the console every sec. After a few sec I opened the console and saw before I opened it the dbgOutput was working. Then I waited a few more sec and no new outputs happen. I press esc then F9 to close then open the console and still no change. Then I press the space bar and all the info saved up is displayed all at once.

While we are at debug thingie, are there any special keys when you bring up debug screen (F9)? For example, it would be nice to have a key which would copy the previous line, as I often have to invoke the same command many times or with a change near the end of the line. Maybe such a key exists already?george moromisato wrote:Hmm. Not sure I get it.

Got it, thanks. I think I see the bug. I'll fix it in the next version. For now, the workaround that you found (start typing) works OK. Thanks!Betelgeuse wrote:ok some more tests and I see what it is doing.
