I don't know if this is really a bug or not, but it's certainly annoying.

If I render a scene on the windows machine that has an incorrect line 
in it say for example something that isn't  a pov key word then when I 
press run the error window is hidden from me when POV finds the error. 

I can click the tab at the top to bring it to the front - but it's 
annoying that the scene file window expands and covers the information
that I would want to read when there is an error.

  Steve, does pressing ALT+M suffice for you?

I found it useful, because the fatal error message is displayed in the
status line, but it should be turned off at the options dialog. - Vic

Thanks Alan, I didn't know about that one.  It works for me.

One sure way to confuse an emacs user, tell him the command he needs is
ALT+M  :-))
