Problem with Spyder IDE: Clear console doesn't actually clear the console
#1
There seem to be some problems with the Spyder IDE. I would have filed a bug report with them, but they don't seem to have the means to do such a thing on their website, and I don't think their Github page supports it.

If a user clears the IPython console, it doesn't actually clear it, it only scrolls down. This is a problem when testing programs which have even a moderate number of print statements. Sometimes I want to scroll up to the top of the output, but I can't tell where the output from a previous run ends and where the new output begins. This problem has been around for many years in other languages, which is why clear console commands exist; scrolling down to "clear" the console is not sufficient.

Any advice on how I can contact the developers about this? Alternatively, are there better Python IDEs?

It seems to work as expected with 3.2.1

It looks like it was a qtconsole issue.
