Serial monitor with new IDE

Development Tools IDE 2.x
1

Hi, I am trying to use the Arduino ide beta 2.0. Uploading this code to My uno works fine, however when I try to upload this to my mega2560 I get unreadable output (of course I changed the board info and Com port). The same Code with both devices is working in old V1.8.19.
Any Ideas?

void setup() {
 Serial.begin(9600);
}
void loop() {
  Serial.println("hello word");
  delay(1000);
}

I am also experiencing those wrong error markings. Generally they seem to lag behind and are very slow. Sorry for adding this later, I forgot it in the main post.

Try chaning the baud rate on serial monitor to somewhere above or below 9600. Sometimes it randomly work for me. But I usually set my baud rate to 115200 on both

I tried this already, unfortunately it does not work ;(

I'm asumming everything works fine on version 1.8.19 on your end?

Hmm, looks like Serial Monitor in 2.0 is still buggy then...
(See Ralph S Bacon video on YT)
Its still in Beta so I guess bugs are to be expected. You cold log an issue here:

Hi @lukashoffleit. Thanks for your report.

Does the output continue printing, or does it stop after printing the number of boxes shown in your screenshot?

I see you opened a dedicated topic for this, which I think was a wise decision since it is a distinct subject matter from the Serial Monitor problem reported here.

I have responded over there:

PLEASE bring back the separated serial monitor from the IDE 1.xx version to the Version 2.0.

It is so small and i love a great and good to see Serial monitor.
Not this small window under my code. This is not fine.
So, i keep using the 1.xx version and not the 2.xx version. (als with all the students i have.)

Please bring it back!!

Hi @ruudmr. The Arduino IDE developers are tracking the need to change to a separate Serial Monitor window as part of the planned reworking of the Arduino IDE 2.x Serial Monitor here:

Note this statement from the then development team lead:

it's definitely in our roadmap and at the top of the list.

We are giving maximum priorities to bugs that compromise the standard usage, next will come performance and UX improvements, like this issue with the monitor. We already designed the new one that is gonna be a separate window like the serial plotter.
