Description esmithbss 2009-12-28 23:35:49 UTC 
When debugging a Ruby on Rails application, each action appears to cache everything occurring within the debugger until the IDE reaches the end of the  event handler.  The results are long processes which generate large amounts of data executing and:

   a) Looking like they aren't doing anything because the output window is not scrolling.

   b) completing, then scrolling huge amounts of data across the output log instead of as we debug.

The IDE should do what is necessary to display the output from the process in near-real time by updating the output display more frequently.

By not doing so, it appears that NetBeans is locked up when it's actually running a long process.
