Output scrolls out of scope

[krischu]

I'm starting to compile an Arduione project. The output window is showing errors. But I cannot reach the line where the error has occured the first time. It's scrolled out of the scope of the output window. Can I increase the size of that window?

1. Scroll up... or
2. Grab the bottom of the text window (top of output window) with your pointer and lift... or
3. "select/copy" (CTRL-A/CTRL-C) the output window and paste into notepad

Does V2.x not have the handy "Copy Error Messages" button at the bottom of the window, then?

[UKHeliBob]

It certainly does

[krischu]

No no, it's not that easy as you may think I know how to copy/paste out of a terminal window and I'm aware of the "Copy Error Message" function. It's highly visible.

What I mean is that the error log is so large that it doesn't start any longer with the point, where the first error occurs. It begins somewhere inmidst and starts with this:

|     ^~~~~~~~

      |                              ^~~~

The copied file is 1001 lines long (some built in 1000 lines limit?) and has a size of 125kB.

Ask @ptillisch if the IDE buffer can be adjusted....

Would be nice to have log to file.

See if How can I increase scrollback of the Output-window in Arduino IDE 2 - #4 by ptillisch provides the solution.

Looks a bit different with me here (2.3.2) but found it.
