The point of this bug report is to remove options, not to add a new ones.

I agree, this should be documented.  Then problem solved.

The problem of the users of horizontally split windows
is that the warning buffer pops up in unpredictable places,
thus disrupting the user's window layout.

The proposed change is to always display the warning buffer at the bottom
where most contemporary IDEs are displaying such information.
