output window will be now regular top component, with inner tabs for various outputs (compiler, debugger, execution). Creating of inner tabs will be the same like is creating of output tabs in 3.5. However, tabs will be *inside* output top component, so they are completely separated from other winsys tabs and they're not movable or dockable anywhere.
*** Issue 34633 has been marked as a duplicate of this issue. ***
This is the summary of Output window behavior in the new windowing system: - each output stream is written into a separate "output" tab inside the output window - the user has to discard output tabs manually by selecting a discard action - the discard action is shown in contextual menus over the output tabs and over the current output text area in two forms: "Discard Output", "Discard All Outputs" - "Discard Output" discards the current output tab/stream, or the contents of the output window (and associated stream) if it is the last output instance - "Discard All Outputs" discards all output instances
One important thing to add: - if there is only one output instance in the output window then no tabs are displayed and output window title displays the name of output instance using this pattern "Output - <output instance name>", e.g. "Output - ColorPicker I/O" - if there are more output instances then they are displayed in separate tabs, each tab showing the name of output instance.
