With console-style nearby chat (#489 note 5; Preferences > Chat > Alerts > Nearby chat style: "Console (plain text)"), the console text overlaps the chat input bar at the bottom left of the screen.

Fix options

Lower the chat input bar (preferred): it sits higher than it needs to. Check the spacing Firestorm users are used to between the bottom of the screen, the chat input bar and the console lines, and match it.
Or raise the console text's bottom edge above the bar.

Notes

Check every UI scale (UIScaleFactor, e.g. 1.0 and 1.5), with the bottom toolbar shown and hidden, and with the "Dark band behind console lines" background on.
The message-card style's bottom edge should line up with the same spacing.
