Output window of IntelliJ IDEA cuts output
Solution 1
Preferences/Settings -> Editor -> General -> Console
, check the box next to Override console cycle buffer size
, set to a larger number than 1024 KB.
Solution 2
Couldn't get more votes to close the question so I have to answer it myself.
IDEA_HOME\bin\idea.properties
#-----------------------------------------------------------------------
# This option controls console cyclic buffer: keeps the console output size not higher than the specified buffer size (Kb). Older lines are deleted.
# In order to disable cycle buffer use idea.cycle.buffer.size=disabled
idea.cycle.buffer.size=1024

Looks like there is a limit on the number of lines it shows.
I couldn't find it in the settings.
Is there a way to make IDEA keep everything in the Output window?

In order to disable cycle buffer use idea.cycle.buffer.size=disabled Also, remember to udpaet settings after upgrade (like 12-> 13) as it creates new .properties

Babken Vardanyan about 9 yearsFor my distro (Arch),
idea.properties
is located at/usr/share/intellij-idea-ultimate-edition/bin/idea.properties
. Note that for Linux (unlike Mac) you don't need to create a copy of this file. -

E-Riz about 8 yearsWhat version of IntelliJ is that? I don't have Console under Editor > General in version 14. In fact, my General sub-elements are very different than the screen shot.

mortensi almost 7 yearsThis is a better answer than the chosen answer above, since it'll handle updates of IDEA without getting a conflict of the idea.properties-file.

asherbret over 2 yearsWorked for me. The max number of KB that work without intelliJ warning that "large buffer size can cause performance degradation" is 20480, at least on my computer and intelliJ version.
