Research direction

Start by locating the Log Viewer subwindow in the Python desktop application and review how logs are rendered. Done means the viewer provides options for monospace text, wrapping long lines, clearing logs before re-rendering, and showing error tracebacks from cq functions.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

Improve the "Log Viewer" subwindow:

  1. Add option to use monospace font
  2. Add option to wrap long lines
  3. Add option to automatically clear log before re-render
  4. Add option to also show error trackback of cq functions

cq-editor is good. I love it.
