Description
It seems in the latest release, the maximum number of messageBar() messages that the GUI can handle is 22 (i.e. the one being displayed, plus "21 more").
Other messages just seem to go missing.
To replicate the issue:
- Load QGIS 3.4.1
- Open Python console (Ctrl + Alt + P)
- Type the following:
for i in range(25):
iface.messageBar().pushMessage("Error", f"I'm sorry Dave, I'm afraid I can't do that {i}", level=Qgis.Critical, duration=0)
You will see messages appear in the message bar at the top, in the following order:
Error: I'm sorry Dave, I'm afraid I can't do that 24 Error: I'm sorry Dave, I'm afraid I can't do that 23 Error: I'm sorry Dave, I'm afraid I can't do that 19 Error: I'm sorry Dave, I'm afraid I can't do that 18 ... Error: I'm sorry Dave, I'm afraid I can't do that 2 Error: I'm sorry Dave, I'm afraid I can't do that 1 Error: I'm sorry Dave, I'm afraid I can't do that 0
i.e. messages 22, 21 and 20 are lost/missing
Note: this worked fine in QGIS 3.2.3

Ah, so not a bug, but a feature!
I couldn't see anything in the docs, so thanks for the pointer.
