Minecraft game output log's "lines shown" option is apparently always set to All, even if you change it
When you launch the game, the game output log comes up (if you have it set to appear). The default amount of lines to view at a time in it is 100 lines, yet never narrows it down to that few. And no matter what you change it to, it seems like it'll always be "All" in actuality. I don't know if the Minecraft launcher itself is related to the output window, but the launcher version is 2.0.1003 I believe (looking at the bottom left corner of it).
Edit: Looks like this extra paragraph already has its own report, MCL-5540 (which also made me realize there's a launcher issues section of this site, but I don't see a way to move this over to there... whoops)
On a side note, it goes and stays completely blank if it fills up with too many messages (starting from around 50k+ lines I think, and everything within the window frame disappears; nothing to do but close it at that point). Not sure if it would still freeze up like that with fewer visible lines, since that's currently impossible to test. Also, when it isn't broken yet but has a great many lines, the window starts to lag like heck when trying to interact with it (as if the framerate for it dropped to like 0.5 - 3 fps).
This is a bit off-topic, but it's also kind of annoying how you need to manually scroll down the output to catch up to whatever's going on; being able to optionally change that to something similar to how Twitch's chat boxes work would be nice...

Ah, thanks for moving it
Is the affected version number correct though? I didn't typo a 9 for a 0 in my report, I definitely see 2.0.1003 (I also found out I can click the number for more info, says 2.0.1003 in there too), but it looks like 2.9.x are the only auto complete suggestions (despite the 2.9.1003 one itself missing) when typing up there, and other reports are saying 2.9.1003 too, so I dunno...
The Launcher version numbers here on the tracker have a typo for some reason. Don't worry about it.
Confirmed for Launcher version 2.0.1003 in 17w50a thanks to
MC-121913This seems to be fixed for me in the latest version of the launcher
This is 'almost fixed' - the log line limit does work now, but is not immediately applied when you change it using the dropdown.
It is applied when you change log levels, or when a new line is appended to the log.
This should be fully fixed in the next release (fixed in current code).
