```
No, its not an "error" it can happen for any number of external situations, temp files deleted, remote systems not mounted, etc
```

I was not saying it was an error ( bug ) in Geany but it is an error condition that Geany should flag to the user even if the cause is external. I think we are basically in agreement. 

A quick sticking plaster solution would be tag " see Help | Debug" on the end of the existing msg in the status window. I would suggest a TODO for moving that content to the Messages Window. It would not be a major UI overhaul. 

Adding a new tab to the window is trivial. The Help debug window is certainly an object to using that objects name to point to the new tab should mean all data sent there ends up in the right place. 

I don't have time to invest in implementing it but it does not seem major upheaval in terms of coding.
