[Solved] Report view popup

[Shack]

Hi Guys

I'm experiencing the report view popping up whenever it receives a message.
Is there any way to turn this off?
many tools add a message when operating, making it impossible to keep the report view closed.

I ended up dragging the report view "under" the comboView. This way it does not pop up every time there is a message in the view.

And to be fair i quite like it this way because i can check at times messages from the solver for example , all in just one click.
I tried searching but i haven't found a option to completely disable it in the properties editor . Perhaps some of the devs could guide us here . A search field would be so helpfull in there as allot can be done in that editor.

There are settings in Preferences->General->OutputWindow to control behaviour of report view.

Not really ... this is a new behavior of FC 0.19 .. in case of a warning or an error Report view will pop up.
This is good, in general. But I had used in my wb the different colors of the 'warning' or 'error' report message to enhance the readability of the log messages.
I'm going to see if I will review my code.
Anyway I think this is a good option because it will pop up the report view in case i.e. a Macro or WB has issues.

This is indeed a fast workaround.

Thanks @chrisb I didn't noticed this new option... FC is evolving so fast lately...

I think this is good, because way too often, new users come in, and are unaware that error messages are getting printed on the report view (they only view the message for a half-second on the status bar). So this is handy as a default setting. Once you know that, you can turn it off. Maybe even better, when in auto-pop-up mode, the report view should show a help message saying how to turn that off...

Hi Yorik,

I'm in mind, that new users gets more confused as it helps, because a lot of the messages are to much "programmer's language" and not to understand for an user.

At the 0.19 it's OK to set it as default, because it's a devl...

Thanks for the help guys, and sorry for not noticing the option
