p5 console limit

[jps723]

Nature of issue?

• Found a bug

Details about the bug:

The console limits how much data can be output but does not throw an error/warning or indicate that anything has been omitted. This caused me to believe that there was an issue in my code.

• Web browser and version: Version 63.0.3239.132 (Official Build) (64-bit)
• Operating System: Mac OSX Sierra (10.12.6)
• Steps to reproduce this:

In the below example, the output to the p5 console begins with i at 33 (instead of 0). Opening the chrome console via inspector shows the entire output to the console. I would expect there to be a message indicating that the p5 console is limiting results, or it should be expanded to have no limit.

there's another open ticket about console errors being omitted (#468) but this ticket could be on to something, maybe it has to do with the code that's limiting the rate of the console errors! it should be delivering the console messages in batch but perhaps it is not working as expected 😄

Is it necessary to deliver console message in batch ?

yes. otherwise, if a user is logging something every frame, the whole editor slows down and crashes.
