First of all, thanks and congratulations for this excellent work!
I just found your CodeProject article about this control, and it turns out it's exactly what I was looking for (I arrived to it by googling "winforms embed console").
I'd like to use your control to run a console application that will run for a very long time (probably weeks of more if nothing wrong happens). This console application logs a lot of information, so before starting the integration I created a toy app to test your control memory usage.
The console app simply enters an infinite loop writing a line of text in each iteration.
When I run it from inside the ConsoleControl, the memory usage reported by VisualStudio started to increase rapidly (it reached 1GB in around 30 seconds).
If you're interested in adding this feature but don't have the time to do it, please let me know and I could try to fix it myself and send you a pull request.
I'm using the latest version as of this writing (1.2.1 added to my toy project using Nuget).

Would you consider adding a property to limit the buffer size? I googled "richtextbox buffer size" and found an article that might be usefull for this: https://www.codeproject.com/Articles/34056/Controlling-the-Length-of-a-RichTextBox-in-C
