debug terminal in latest tip..

Latest tip, Xubuntu 14.04.
I can't seem to stop the debug terminal from popping up each time I launch the debugger. "Show Debugger Terminal" is unchecked in the debugger settings yet it keeps popping up. I find it much more streamlined when this window is embedded into the main program. Any ideas?

the problem with the previous implementatin (embedded) is that it was an emulator that lacks many features of a real terminal (e.g. arrow keys, password field and other)
If the terminal annoys you, you can hide it by telling codelite that this application is a "GUI" application.
To do this:
right click on the project settings -> general -> common settings
Under the "Execution" section, check the option that says:
"This program is a GUI application"

No probem. I'll just have to get used to it. Thanks again for the prompt reply!

Sorry, one last thing, is it possible to force the debug terminal to the front once an application is launched? It currently sits behind CodeLite, and my launched application which means I have to click on the task bar to bring it to front.

At what point did you remove the embedded debugger? It's kind of unworkable for me as it is now. I log a lot of messages to the debugger terminal and now when stepping through the debugger I have to constantly click the task bar to bring the debugger terminal to front. It's far more mouse clicking than I'm comfortable with. I'm happy to go back to an earlier version. If you could let me know the very last version before the change I'll go back and build it.

I built an earlier version and I now have the embedded debug terminal again. Thanks.
