Able to reproduce the issue on chrome reported version 66.0.3359.181 and on latest chrome# 68.0.3436.0 using Windows-10, Mac 10.12.6 and Ubuntu 14.04. As the same issue is seen from introduction of 'Group Similar' check box in Devtools > Console tab from M-64, hence considering this issue as Non-Regression and marking it as Untriaged. Thanks!

Erik, let's think about what we can do here.

Yes. One use case where it's handy to ungroup repeated messages is [1]: there are multiple interwoven log sources, and one wants to quickly see the 'timeline'. Seeing a large chunk of duplicates with the same text is more helpful than seeing a (N) repeat count bubble, I imagine. OP: please let us know if you had a different use case for this, in mind. It would help us better understand the problem. [1] https://imgur.com/a/lqMvAEB Today's 'Group similar' checkbox reorders browser messages to reduce noise, but we could easily tie it to user messages as well. User messages would show duplicates when it is unchecked, and we can prevent user messages from reordering.

It's mostly for visibility. For instance when there's a need to interact with the rendered page and keep an eye on the console at the same time, a larger chunk of text makes it easier to detect new output. |
