Hello,
Usually, when compiling message window's line not move to last added line. I mean memo not scroll to end of memo lines, I can move scrollbar via keyboard or mouse. just see in main IDE caption, "(compiling...)" yes compiling, (debugging...) yes my project will or running.

my suggestion:
If messages windows is closed, when compile or run project, its popup. Suggestion is, if its opened, and behind any or all form(s) just "bringtofront" *NOT focused.* In option has just"Focus messages after compilation"
thank you
