Editor loses focus on Compile

When I compile a project in the IDE with Ctrl+F9 the editor window loses focus. Instead the message window is focused. When compiling is done, message window is still focused (even after a successful compile).

-> For me this is extremly annoying because every time I compile I have to take the mouse in the hand and focus back the editor window.

Does anybody take advantage of this feature or is it only a bad side-effect of the fast that message window is shown before compiling?

(I am refering to non-docked IDE, maybe it does not happen when AnchorDocking is installed.)

Same, when AnchorDocking is installed. I started work newly with AnchorDocking, maybe useto to freesparta. Long time ago I was write same idea. Message windows directly open and focused, can add option just bringtofront but not focused. Another think I remove warnings hint bla bla but still showing in :)

It has happened also before but only few people can reproduce. http://bugs.freepascal.org/view.php?id=18012

What does it depend on? Nobody knows.

In the IDE Options dialog under Environment->Messages Window node make sure the checkbox "Focus messages after compilation" is not checked.
