Subject: How to avoid questions asked in the echo area to be overridden by messages?
Date: Mon, 02 Apr 2012 14:59:48 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <80aa2uuw57.fsf@somewhere.org> (raw)

Hello,

In my Emacs 24 (note that I'm quite sure it has nothing to do with the version
of Emacs), there are some questions I never see because they're immediately
overridden by other messages.

Two examples:

- when `vc-command-messages' is set to `t',
  "Running svn --non-interactive diff Work.org...OK = 0"
  hides the question "Resume clock (Organize work) (y or n)"

- "Scanning document..." (dunno who's emitting it)
  is in front of Emacs Helm question for entering a search "pattern:"

When I say "in front", I mean that the question appears for a subsecond, but
immediately disappears as a new message (possibly generated before?[1]) comes on
the "stack".

Best regards,
  Seb

Footnotes:

[1] I have that impression when reading the *Messages* buffer. The VC info is
chronologically before Org's question to resume clocking on a task.
