Description Doug Schaefer CLA 2010-03-14 20:42:18 EDT 
It's not obvious that the red sections in the build console are clickable. The standard UI metaphor for that is hyperlinks, i.e., underlines. I'd prefer to see that.
Comment 1 Andrew Gvozdev CLA 2010-03-14 21:57:14 EDT 
I agree with that. Underline should appear on mouse hover. In addition, the double-click is not well defined now. It does a composite action of synchronizing with editor and selecting a word on the console.
Comment 2 Marc-André Laperle CLA 2010-03-20 10:10:45 EDT 
I also noticed that if you double-click at the end of the line, it will only select the last word without selecting the error.
Comment 3 Marc-André Laperle CLA 2013-08-14 23:13:42 EDT 
The Ant build console has hyperlinks so it might be good place to look at.
Comment 4 Doug Schaefer CLA 2015-08-31 11:15:53 EDT 
BTW, I have an implementation of this using the TextConsole's pattern matcher facility (which I assume the Ant builder is using). We probably need to have something a bit fancier as each project/config build needs it's own set of patterns and TextConsole doesn't handle switching very well. But I like how they did it and will take it a bit further with the new build work.
