Eclipse puts up modal requesters with some information and a single "OK" button. E.g. "Could not contact the CVS server" [OK]. It is very annoying to have focus stolen from the editor I'm currently working in. Even more annoying if I click the wrong spot and accidentally send the modal dialog box to back. (Can happen w/GTK + Xming X server). Perhaps something akin to the "MSN Messenger" non-focus-stealing, non-modal notifications that something is amiss, with a possiblity to go and examine the modal dialog box queue at a later time. Incidentally it would be nice to be able to copy&paste the text in the error message, which I'm not sure you can directly from the modal dialog box. Øyvind
This bug is quite old, but I think still relevant. I'm not even sure if the specific case (CVS) is still true, but in the current code stream, I interpret this request to mean something like: "the status handler should do something less obstrusive when the style is StatusManager.SHOW" We get similar complaints in p2 about "server not found" errors.
This bug hasn't had any activity in quite some time. Maybe the problem got resolved, was a duplicate of something else, or became less pressing for some reason - or maybe it's still relevant but just hasn't been looked at yet. If you have further information on the current state of the bug, please add it. The information can be, for example, that the problem still occurs, that you still want the feature, that more information is needed, or that the bug is (for whatever reason) no longer relevant.
