Console does not update output while not having focus

Hi,

When I run my game the console is not visually updating any Debug.Log/LogWarning/LogError output. That is, until I click on the console pane and all previous output is shown at once.

If the game window then gets focus again the console stops updating output. Until it gets focus and then it will show all new output.

Note: this has nothing to do with the Show Log/Warning/Error errors in the top right of Console window. They are all toggled on.

Any idea what could be the cause of this and how it could be fixed?

Cheers,
Rob

Hi, I may be of service! I had this issue once before when I updated Unity versions from 4 to 5. I found out that the issue was a problem with your custom layout of the Unity Panels. The solution is to either revert your panel layout to default or simply close and reopen your console panel. That’s it, that’s all! Cheers!

While following @PixelShield advice, I found I actually had two instances of the console layered on top of each other… Closing one of them fixed the issue.
