Re: [cdt-debug-dev] GDB reporting "No symbol 'whatever' in curren t cont

[Derek Morris <dmsubs@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Well, I don't think the current behaviour is acceptable:
- when you move the mouse and pause slightly over a random area of the source 
window, the console window switches to the front and displays a meaningless (to 
the user) error message.

In the circumstances, suppressing the error seems the best thing to do. Shall I 
raise a PR?
