Is there a limit to the number of lines the interactive interpreter can handle? I often print text to the window in my scripts when developing/debugging. I have one particular script that dumps quite a bit but it seems not all of it will show in the window. If I write to a file instead it’s all there.

I’ve experienced this as well and a quick solution to this is to slap your code in a button component and print to the designers output console.
