Message browser initially not shown in Linux

[Christian Kral <dr.christian.kral@…>]

When I check a model in Linux the output of a successful check is shown in a "Check-model" window. If the check is not successful, the Message Browser shows more information, so it is essential that the Message Browser is always available.

The Message Browser, however, is not initially shown in the Linux version

OMEdit 1.13.0~dev-18-gf627d10
Connected to OpenModelica 1.13.0~dev-190-g126fee0

even though View -> Windows -> Message Browser is enabled after starting OMEdit. After disabling and re-enabling the Message Browser through View -> Windows -> Message Browser, it correctly appears.

It is not essential. Messages Browser will pop up automatically when there is an error.

Yes it is not shown by default.

This is not true for me. I don't see the Messages Browser on startup and even View->Windows->Messages Browser is disabled. Just to test, uncheck Preserve User's GUI Customizations under Tools->Options->General and restart OMEdit.

It does, unfortunately, not in my (Linux) version; so when an error occurs, nothing happens (no window pops up)

It is not shown in my (Linux) version by default; only if disable and re-enable the Message Browser it shows up. Once I close an re-open OMEdit, the Message Browser is not shown any more of an error occurs; I then have to disable and re-enable the Message Browser again...

So if you tested it in Linux and it does not work in my Linux version, do you have a proposal of what I could try to make it work?

... sorry for not reading your response up to the end:

If I uncheck Preserve User's GUI Customizations the Message Browser is shown on startup. Hmm... Is that the solution or is it a bug?

[Adeel Asghar]

By default it should not show up but since on Linux we have this error sh: 1: impact: not found that is why it pops up.

The option Preserve User's GUI Customizations makes sure that when OMEdit starts it restores the state of the last session. When you uncheck it then OMEdit starts with all the windows shown in their default places.

Btw when you check model then you should also see a success message in Messages Browser.

The startup warning messages that show up in Linux are fixed as part of ticket #5048.

I think this ticket is invalid now. Reopen it if you still encounter issues.
