Is there a way to see the latest messages in the output window. i.e to "tail" the output instead of holding the position in output window. I have to keep scrolling to the bottom manually every time a couple of new messages are output?

can you check the status of the zoom in your browser window? It has happened before that when the zoom is something else than 100% the auto scroll would stop working.

Thanks ... that works! Though my eyes are getting on at this stage and I do need browser at 120%

Could I tail the console out in a SSH session instead? Where are the logs stored on the Bela and I could do that instead?

But don't answer tonight for Gods sake, I wasn't expecting an answer that quickly. It is 10 O'clock in the evening and you must need a rest!

    That is not currently available via ssh (the console is logging to the client (browser) and not the server (Bela)).

    Maybe you could change the font size in a couple of places?

    This will change it for the text editor:

    diff --git a/IDE/public/js/bundle.js b/IDE/public/js/bundle.js
index 2a7a4ee5..e8e0790f 100644

      I'm running into the same problem, even after verifying that the zoom level is set to 100%. Interestingly enough, the console seems to jump to the latest message when there's a line that highlighted in yellow, but the white lines that start with bella: don't just continually get posted out of view.

      I'm running a recent version of chrome (Version 99.0.4844.51 (Official Build) (x86_64)) on os X (10.15). Does anyone have any suggestions?

        confirmed 🙁

        git bisect if you have the experience required to do that ... otherwise I will get to it at the end of next week (I think).
