IDLE automatically squeezes large amount of lines

I've been working on a chatbot in IDLE using python. On my laptop everything works fine but on my desktop IDLE automatically squeezes the text 🤷🏻‍♂️

This is what it looks like in IDLE. 👀

The text that's being squeezed are just empty lines. I've embedded the code I used to print out the empty lines below...

print("\n" * 150) 👈🏻

Does anyone know how to disable it? 🤔

You could repeat your blank lines in a quantity that is less than the squeeze threshold.

print("\n"*25)
print("\n"*25)
print("\n"*25)
print("\n"*25)
print("\n"*25)
print("\n"*25)

# OR

i = 0
while i < 6:
    print("\n"*25)
    i = i + 1

This is a new feature, still being refined. To disable, go to Options => Configure IDLE => General tab => Shell preferences => Auto-Squeeze min lines [50] and change 50 to a large count.

Double click the label to expand in place. Right click for other options.
