Re: Console problem with version 4.0

There seems to be a problem with version 4.00 console handlng that did not exist with version 3.11. With version 3.1.1 I could send 100's of lines to the console and scroll to see all of them. With Ver 4.0 this seems to be limited to about 44 lines on my system. exw.exe and exwc.exe behave the same.
This is with version 4.0 alpha 2 release running on Windows XP.
I also don't have any problems. I ran the following:
for i = 1 to 1000 do printf(1, "Line %d\n", i ) end for
...and I can get back up to "Line 3", which makes sense to me, because I have my console buffer size set to 1000 lines (and that includes the blank line after the output and the command prompt).
In XP (and presumably other windows versions, too) you can right click on the title bar of the console, select "Properties" from the menu, and go to the layout tab.
What are your settings there?

My console is configured for 500 lines in the screen buffer and a screen height of 30 lines. I was experimenting with some older binaries I had downloaded. Up till build 1238 the console works as expected. Builds 1264 and later, including alpha 2 and 1291, all show the problem described.
