TL;DR

The console chat currently appears behind the toolbar, if you have all of the toolbars turned on and the chat is too long

What ?

Please either shift the console/console output upward to account for this or, when the chat is open, display the chat on-top-of the toolbars (and maybe darken the chat background area)

Why ?

It is not possible to read the text until more messages are sent.

It's not a huge priority, but it is a minor quality-of-life change for both devs that need to read output as well as players communicating in chat.

Imo chat-on-top would be a visually bad choice. Why not force a line break by the border of the toolbar?

I completely agree, but if the options are between text overlaying toolbar or leaving it as is...
