Hello,

Is it a by-design/deliberate that the Compile Project (progress) window doesn't get focus after the compilation process?

Best regards,

Why, oh, why do I have to find the answer right after asking the list? :-/ Unchecking the "Focus messages after compilation" option in the Environment\Desktop page does what I want.
However, the behavior of the default setting (focus messages) is pretty poor after a failed compilation or after debugging. On the former case the source editor is focused, and although it navigates to the position of the error this doesn't seem very useful when you have the covering it dialog in the way and have to use the mouse to close it.
On the latter the "Debug finished" dialog is displayed bellow/beneath the Compiler Process window and the user has to "guess" the window is there and they must press Enter to close it.
Shall I create bug reports for these?

Best regards,
Fl?vio

I think this is already reported, at least very similar:

Thanks! I added a note on your bug entry with a suggested fix. (And "Oops :-$". On a second though the "debugger stopped" issue is not even related... fsStayOnTop issues are hairy, but I'll try to find a fix/work around.)

Best regards,
Fl?vio
