+Output over N lines (50 by default) is squeezed down to a button.
+N can be changed in the PyShell section of the General page of the
+Settings dialog.  Fewer, but possibly extra long, lines can be squeezed by
+right clicking on the output.  Squeezed output can be expanded in place
+by double-clicking the button or into the clipboard or a separate window
+by right-clicking the button.  (Contributed by Tal Einat in :issue:`1529353`.)
 
 The changes above have been backported to 3.6 maintenance releases.
