Description:
Two wishlist items:
a) "Console" and "Debug Output" text could usefully be monospaced rather than proportional to match how the text would normally appear in a shell session (xterm etc.).
b) Would it be possible to detect a resize or maximise/restore of the "Console" window and send a SIGWINCH to the process being debugged? This might also need something like a TIOCSWINSZ ioctl, so that the program being debugged could get at least approximately the right result from TIOCGWINSZ. This would probably be unix-only, since I don't think Windows etc. signals text-mode programs on window resize.
Additional information:
I've been looking at a couple of console programs which do attempt to track window size changes, and in principle it /should/ be possible to modify Freevision/Dialedit for this.
/Please/ treat this as a wish rather than a whine, but so far I've not worked out how the relevant bits of the IDE hang together.
