Developer Console breaks when printing really long strings.

Hey fellow bloxxer! Sadly the developer console is riddled with bugs, and this one in particular deals with how Roblox handles string lengths.

A quick and dirty fix for this would be to modify the main message loop in RefreshMessagesForReal to cap writable strings at the limit.

if (message.Message:len() >= 199988) then
    message.Type = Enum.MessageType.MessageError.Value
    message.Message = "[String too long]"
end

While this would work (for this situation), I do not feel it is a good solution. A much better way to handle this would be to separate characters into easily manageable chunks and reconstruct them within the console, instead of being concatenated all at once, to allow for entire string to be fully presented.
