Text widget as a console [message #464378]

Hi

I would like to have my Text widget act as a log console.
As my application is running, more and more text will be added to the
console.
I would like to set a limit on max number of characters in the console
and the have it working as FIFO (first in first out). Hence when new
text is added to the console - a similar textlength will be removed from
the top of the console.

I tried using the setTextLimit(String) method, but it sets the limit so
effectively that no more text can be added after the limit has been reached.

regard,
Thomas
