Output Pane in IDE

Other than selecting Output in the View Menu ( or pressing F8 ) what causes the Output window to open. How can I suppress this. It is annoying when the window seems to pop open for no reason. How can I configure the IDE so that the Output window only opens when I want it to?

Any enlightenment will be appreciated.

Firstly, we'll need to perfect the telepathic input device. ;)

Seriously, though, can you describe what you do just before the window unexpectedly opens? It will open whenever something is output to it, e.g. when you do a compile.

Don,

I am not doing any compiling. I am only writing code. There is nothing going on that requires output. In fact I do not even have a ZX attached to the comport. Every time I switch windows from module to module the Output Pane opens. I can set the View => Output to off (unchecked) ( or use F8 )and the pane closes then I switch to another window and switch back and the pane is again open. I have actually been writing code and had the Output Pane open. I am not aware of doing anything to cause it. I will make an effort to see what I am doing to cause this.

Is this better than telepathy :D

I see what you mean. I had never noticed that before. Until we find out why it is happening, you can work around it by dragging the splitter bar downward until there is only a thin strip of the white-background window visible.
