It is possible to show more lines without pressing F10.
I found out yesterday.
Go to chat.cpp and look for "m_recent_buffer(6),"
Change this line to "m_recent_buffer(20),"
to have 20 lines or any number that you want to have.
Then recompile minetest and you're done.
F10 sometimes crashing Minetest, what is annoying.

This is confirmed with my friend. Whenever he presses f10 his client crashes. I haven't tried it yet but if I remember I will try later.

This F10 crash is called segfault and its there since the console is added.
I noticed this segfault seems to only happen on Debian-based distros (and Debian itself).
This would need some more testing though. I wonder what can cause this.
On Arch Linux it never happened to me. Maybe update Irrlicht or some other dependency (I have irrlicht 0.8 but it didn't crash with 0.7.3, too).
On Debian and Ubuntu it always happens. What's common between Debian, Ubuntu, and Windows, that isn't in Arch ? Good question...

Are you sure you run Irrlicht 0.8? Because I have 1.7 ...

IMO, this should be made into a "chat_lines" minetest.conf option and the default value should be 8.
Can we at least have an extra chant window, or a full chat that doesn't overlap with the game view? The chat on top of the game is hard to read in light conditions and you can't click formspec buttons through it, and the F10 console is crashy and obstructs the game.

I guess I'm back for some time.
