When I am developing I have to run different classes, e.g. when I am testing and test one class at a time. In this case for every run, a new tab is created. This gets very fast complex and confusing. So I want to close the windows or rearrange them, but it's not possible. My suggestion is to make the tabs flexible like any tabs are nowadays: - drag and drop to rearrange them - close all/close others and so forth - coloring? I would find it cool when e.g. tests have different colors or so, but that's just a spontaneous idea - some functionality like in Eclipse would be desirable: clear ouput, lock autoscrolling, lock auto tab selection, ... Just have a look at the Eclipse output window - when selected a word in the output, highlight other instances of this word. much like notepad++ does I am sure that there are a lot more exciting new features for the output window.

Keep the scrollbar NOT at the bottom and will NOT auto-scroll when new content is printed. (That is my experience. I do not know how to describe it better.) (Experiences made with NB7.2)
