Same here; ever since we got the z13, it is essentially impossible to see NIP messages because the console doesn't scroll anymore. The first screen fills and then just blips, no new messages, and no scrollbar. When I reported it, it was implied that this was due to my 'failure' to use the tree-style interface. I have resorted to using the 3270 console. Which has the disadvantage that you cannot scroll back. But at least I see the NIP messages. After a while (and after closing the OSM screen and reopening it), the OSM screen actually gets a scroll bar. Never mind that the buffer is so small that the first messages have already gone. IBM was unable to tell me how to increase that buffer size. I am glad that I am not the only one who sees this.
