Description

Excuse me if this has been answered elsewhere, I've scoured the issues and documentation to no avail. When I have a fullscreen app, and there is a python error, I scroll up in the terminal window and only see the first few lines of the error - this makes debugging extremely difficult (well, time-consuming). Is there a setup value somewhere, were error messages can be seen in full?
