Description

Originally submitted to Google Code by @mikahanninen on 16 Apr 2013

If you have messages in the log and disable, and then re-enable the log it does not have anything on it.

Would be good if it would show the latest message log if available.

Research direction

Start by reproducing the issue in RIDE's Message Log: add messages, disable the log, and enable it again. Trace the Message Log entry point and existing tests, if any, to determine where the latest log is lost. Done means re-enabling the log displays the messages that existed before it was disabled.
