Which is pretty much what this is supposed to be > about. My point is that with the default of nil, I always have to actively scroll the *compilation* window if I want either to see compilation output and/or compilation progress. With the default of t, I only have to scroll if there is some compilation output that I want to see and that it didn't cause compilation to stop anyway. Convenient is a good choice of word: with the default of t, for me, the convenience is that my effort is minimised. I never have to do more scrolling than if the default were nil, and I usually have to do nothing at all. But I am curious in understanding how, if you are interested in compilation output and/or compilation progress, you interact with the new *compilation* behaviour. Do you always scroll through the compilation output? All 20 pages of it, to use your example? If you do not, I presume you are not interested in the output. In which case, the default value does not matter for you. If you do, why do you prefer that Emacs does not do almost all of the scrolling for you? Simon.
