Hi there! Every great once in a while the console hangs for me in workspaces. It's rare, but it happens. When it does, I go up to View -> Hide console and then wait a few seconds. Then I choose View -> Show console. This generally refreshes the console.

Hope this helps, but let me know if you're still experiencing problems! :sparkles:
