Describe the request
I'd like to be able to allow at least more than 2000 rows of output area capacity, or allow manual setting to a larger value.
Describe the current behavior
By default, the "Output" view is configured to have a buffer size of 1000 lines.
When compiling a complex sketch, the verbose compilation output might exceed this length. In this case, the initial part of the output is lost. The lost output might contain valuable information and so this makes debugging very difficult.
