The issue in this post is for a simple bug, but it resulted in an evaluation of the overly complex and confusing implementation of DBMS Output in Toad. I've created a [post in the Idea Pond](https://forums.toadworld.com/t/dbms-output-master-toggle-and-output-area/46150) with some ideas for a master toggle and a simplified viewing of output. Please have a look, comment if you'd like, and cast your vote for it if you agree. Thanks.
