Actually, there was a setting earlier as well - the format of the setting
changed with 2.6 and it may be that we didn't migrate old settings
correctly. Unfortunately, there's not much to do about it now if that's
the case, other than to let folks know.

While we could do that, but it would probably only affect brand new users
of NUnit. The reason is that you already have an entry in your setting file
for what to display in the text output tab, so no default applies.

We could have avoided this by having a _separate_ setting for trace,
log etc. but the fact is there is only one setting for content. I may end
up rethinking this for NUnit 3.0, but I don't see any way to fix it for
2.6.2, at least for existing users.

Title:
  The "Text Output" Tab doesn't display Trace-Output anymore

Status in NUnit V2 Test Framework:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  It looks like there's a problem with the "Text Output" tab in NUnit
  2.6. It doesn't display Trace.WriteLines anymore.

  The following test displays "hello world!" in the Text Output tab of
  NUnit 2.5, but in NUnit 2.6 the window stays empty:

    [TestFixture]
    public class TraceTests {
      [Test]
      public void Test() {
        Trace.WriteLine("hello world!");
      } 
    }
