Configuring how the Run tab displays / groups errors
The "Run" tool window has two sections. On the left, there is a tree view showing tasks, and errors / warnings grouped underneath that. On the right is the console output.
I've noticed that since upgrading IntelliJ it will now automatically highlight new errors in the left section, and show the corresponding error output (only) in the right section. This is rather annoying sometimes, as it means the focus keeps getting pulled away from the latest console output, and I need to click around to bring the console output back up.
The same thing happens within the Console tab of the Debugger tool window.
Can this behaviour be disabled? I'd like it to just show a continuous stream of output in the right-hand section, without automatically focusing on any errors which might occur.
Thanks!

May you show the screenshot of the whole IDE window with auto-focused error opened?
Does it help to disable tree view here: https://i.imgur.com/gtsN33f.png ?
Sure thing - here's the focused error.
I don't see the option to disable the tree view - I'm looking at the Run or Debug tool windows, not the Services window.
What I'm hoping for is for the main console output to remain focused, like this:

Thank you - that does look like the same issue. I'll keep an eye on it!
