The compilation window then places this error at the top of the window. If I now want to visit an earlier one, I have to page back down. I am guessing this behaviour was provided so that it was clear which error was the current one. Now that the overlay arrow points to the current error, at least on a graphics terminal, would it be possible not to move the window (or possibly move the error to the centre of the compilation window) so that the user can still see the other errors around the current one?
