Description Ben Noordhuis 2006-12-07 05:38:20 EST 
To reproduce:

- open the console
- type something until the text begins to scroll
- scroll back

Character zero becomes unreachable due to a miscalculation in the engine. This also applies to the different messagemodes. Said bug also exists in vanilla 1.32 Q3A.

Reproduced but I appear to still be able to overwrite character 0...

Setting a QA contact on all ioquake3 bugs, even resolved ones. Sorry if you get a flood of email from this, it should only happen once. Apologies for the incovenience.

@Zachary:

Yeah, perhaps I should've said "invisible" instead of "unreachable". At any rate, the visual appearance of the text gets messed up.

Your patch sort of fixes things, but introduces other problems. Try scrolling back to the start of the line then moving right; notice it skips a character. I've therefore fixed this in a different way.
