Serial port monitoring restarting every one or two pages

Monitoring a program running on esp32 under vs2022, the serial monitor is kind of resetting itself  after filling one or two "pages". It is very strange, looks like i ran out of buffer. But I used to have very long logs there... it seems to have appeared after last update? what could be wrong?

A lot of text in the screen buffer causes slowness in visual studio especially for users of older machines. The screen buffer size can be changed in Tools>options>visual micro>communications.

did you stop and restart the monitor after making the change?

can you confirm if any unexpected text shows where the output restarts?

Thanks Tim - just what I needed to find.  I recently moved to a new PC and noticed the serial monitor didn't seem to hold as much info as before.  I searched here for 'Serial Monitor' and found your post, which led me to the correct setting.

Thanks again

Frank
