Hi
When compiling code I normally just watch the output window as opposed to the task window as it usually points me to the first error, whereas the task window can be misleading sometimes...
In some projects I'll have written a lot of code without compiling for awhile, leading to many errors. I like to deal with them one at a time, so I compile, click in the output window, and scroll to the top to get the first one (rather than dealing with the last one, which could depend on a previous error). This is of great annoyance to me, so if anyone knows how to keep the cursor from scrolling the output window to the bottom, it would be a massive time saver for me
Thanks for your time

Why don't you just press F4? It takes you to the first compile error, then if you press it again it goes to the next error...
