Question - IDE Syntax Error Window

[Bros Before Giraffes]

So far I'm really liking GMS 2, but I have one problem that caused me massive frustration within 5 seconds of it showing up.

This window that shows up whenever the code editor detects a syntax error is absolutely maddening because it shows up over your code window if you click anywhere. So if you want to fix the error or quickly edit something else first, you can't just close the error window because that deselects the code editor and when you try to click back in the window shows up over the code you're trying to edit. Instead, you have to click and drag the window out of the way.

I looked around in the code editor preferences, so unless I missed something I don't see an option to disable it. Is there a plan to change this or add the option to disable it? I think the syntax errors should just show up at the bottom of the code editor like in Studio 1.x

EDIT: Just realized I can dock that window so it's out of the way! Problem solved, I guess!
EDIT 2: Just realized that when it detects another error it reopens the tab even if it's hidden.

So I guess my question still stands: Will we be able to disable this window?

Spoiler: Screenshot so you know what I'm talking about

We're aware of this and still thinking of ways to fix this. I tend to have it very small at the bottom - but always open. This isn't a great solution, so we're still working on it.

One way to solve it is to show the error on a small fixed status bar and then I could expand it only when I want. The fact that it always expand is really frustating

 

[Mike]

We're looking at ways to display it inside the code window itself somehow.

Thanks for the reply! Yeah, snapping it to the bottom is an okay temporary solution, but I like to have as much visible space in the workspace as possible. Good to know you're thinking about the problem though!

Mike is not being very helpful here!

Solution:
Preferences -> General Settings -> Compiling -> Untick "Automatically pop up Syntax Errors when an error occurs."

That preference should be off by default, the syntax errors window popping up while typing is absolutely horrendous but don't tell anyone I said that publicly

If you want to always see it, here's a tip:

I've moved it as second tab in resource tree panel, then it's much less frustrating.

The easy solution to this problem is just never write another error in your code ever again.

Simple.

But it shows error in middle of writing

RujiK was ironic lel

 

[gnysek]

In this case he should say "never write code anymore", to be ironic, otherwise this irony still causes same bug. And that's a real irony.
