Make compiling window not on top

Post by PB »

When I hit F5 to compile an app, the compiling window is set to topmost, which
means it's in the way when I want to view something else during compilation.
I'd like to suggest it NOT be topmost, because (a) if you don't intend to do
anything else during compilation, then a non-topmost window will do exactly
the same job, and (b) if you do intend to do something else during compilation,
then you can click another window and view it without it being blocked.
I compile using 5.31 (x86) on Win 7 Ultimate (64-bit).

Add an option to get rid of the window and put compilation info in the Debug output window. :P

instead of the window, they could add a StatusBarProgress() in the bottom right of the ide, during compilation. :)
