Console output scroll-up/down issues

[Pete7]

Apologies for another post on this issue. I've checked out a number of posts on this but with no success unfortunately. I've pasted below a screenshot of the console window together with more showing various settings pages. Hopefully they help pinpoint my issue.

My problem: I loose everything apart from the last 30 lines output to the console/output window. I can't scroll up.

My setup: Windows 11, using FBIde (version 0.4.6r4) + FreeBASIC (version 1.10.1-winlibs-gcc-9.3.0)

Minimal code:

Code: Select all

dim i as integer
for i=1 to 1000
    print i
next i
sleep

Console window output:

Seems that you use the Windows terminal. Use the good old cmd.exe instead. In my instalallation of Windows 11 it is C:\Windows\System32\cmd.exe. If you use the terminal, you can instead set the standard terminal application to "Windows Console Host" instead of "Windows Terminal".

In the 'Run command' field of 'FBIde setting' / 'FreeBASIC', you can try:
cmd /c ""<$file>" <$param> & pause"

This is very useful in order to prevent the immediate closing of the console window when the program has run. By this way you can see runtime errors on the console window if you use compiler switch -exx
