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. -- Sebastien Vauban
