outputChatBox and outputConsole do not properly print to console window anymore

[ffsPLASMA]

Describe the bug

I just noticed, outputChatBox and outputConsole do not print the messages to the F8 console window anymore. However inputting something in the console and hitting enter will print all passed outputs at once.

As if the buffer is immediately flushed all at once after entering something.

Steps to reproduce

Join a server, let a script use outputChatBox/outputConsole, check console window and messages wont get displayed until you enter a string/command.

Yea the GUI has some issues in the new nightlies, I think just scrolling up and down works and you don't need to enter anything. The map list (the Maps tab in admin panel and the maps window when you click open in map editor) also loads very slowly and you have to select things twice for them to be highlighted.

master branch 1.7

script(client-side):

outputChatBox("Test")
outputConsole("Test")

steps:
just using start script.

Hmm I guess I found a way to reproduce it more or less reliable. Join FFS Gaming and select a random arena to play. Wait for few messages to pop up in chatbox, then open the console window. You will see the chatbox messages do not appear there. If you got the console window opened and you enter a command or a new message appears, the buffer will be written to console window all at once.

So maybe related to showChat function?
