System Information
Windows 7 -64 GeForce GTX-660
Blender Version
Broken: 48f7dd6

I can't change the scrollback value of the console.
It keeps only 300 lines of history.

Exact steps for others to reproduce the error

User Preferences -> System
Console Scrollback = 1000

Run

for i in range(1000): print(i)

from a text block and the system console only displays the last 300

That’s a windows issue I guess… Just start Blender from an already opened console?

Maybe @MartijnBerger knows if we can do something here (or if this is known limitation)?

Uhm something is wrong here. Seems like a UI glitch. I can change it to 1000 however I have to zoom out in the editor to allow me to see the lines

Just tried starting from the command prompt with -con, same problem.
I've tried resetting the scrollback value to the default, it shows 32 but the console is still stuck at 300 lines.

Eeeeh, so you are talking about the py console, not the system one, sorry :|

Well, here I have 4096 and can use it with no problem, no need to zoom out or whatever. Can you please confirm it still happens with the latest build from our buildbot?

Talking about the system console whereprint() outputs.
That's the console I would expect to be able to change the scrollback value.
Not the 'convenience' interactive console.

Eh, OK, but that’s not Blender stuff, that’s windows stuff… The setting in UserPref is for the py console. So again, best workaround I can think off is starting Blender from a win console (which you have set up to display as much lines as you want). But not a Windows guy…

The issue here is changing the font size isn't updating the scroll area,
checked on this and looks like we need a listener so the properties update callback can trigger console_textview_update_rect.
