Hi,
I encountered an interesting "condition" today. I am evaluating use of ChibiOS_ARM vs FreeRTOS_ARM by having two Arduino windows open on my Win 7 desktop. I'm using the default chBlink vs frBlink side by side to compare programming techniques and style.
While I was part way through running a Verify against the chiBlink I moved my cursor to the other window where frBlink was listed. At that point any additional messages about the chBlink Verify showed up at the bottom of the frBlink window! It seems the messages follow the cursor's window location! It's not a problem, just a bit of a surprise.
BTW the chBlink sketch is 12,488 bytes while the frBlink is 18,408 bytes long. Quite a bit of difference. But who cares as long as the code works. There's still lots of storage space left for the real code I plan to write to manage my observatory and telescope. This is all about having fun.
Thanks Arduino and everyone else for allowing an old "big iron mainframe systems programmer" discover a whole new vista of possibilities with these devices.
I hope my observations about the peculiarities the Verify command's messages will be easy to understand an possibly rectify.

Yeah, there's a bit of code attached to the window activation which sets a global "activeEditor" variable (in Base.java) which is used for such things as deciding which window to output messages to. It's been like that since the year dot.
It's something I fixed in UECIDE by the way
Hardly seems like a Programming issue. Perhaps you want this thread moved somewhere more appropriate?
