Compiler progress

[sadavis80]

If we have the Messages window hidden or 'stowed' on the side or bottom of the editor in the IDE, there is *NO* indication of compiler progress .. or even if it was compiling or not. Would be nice to have at least SOME indication that compilation was going on ... and then DONE.

Yes - if there are ERRORS, it stops with a line flagged (almost always the LAST line in the file, rather than the line the compiler errored on.

Also - the error line number is given in the message box, but if I double click on the line in the message box, it takes me to the LAST LINE in the file. I Have to look at the line number, go to the file and scroll to the line to see what's up. Shouldn't the dblclick take me to the correct line?

We have added message to status bar, and now message window is forced to be visible if any error occurs.
