Unable to permanently expand build message

[twohrdrive]

Hello fellow Blockheads

First off, I'd like to do the customary ritual of stating that I've searched (to no avail) to the end of my patience to find this answer both on C::B forums and Google. Nothing. Also, thanks for reading my post.

My question is as follows - When I receive a build message, it is partially hidden until I click and drag the message column within the build message pane. I don't care about the file column or the line column.  I can then read the whole build message.  I would like to permanently expand the message column so that each time I restart CodeBlocks, I don't have to re-expand the message column.

This sounds petty, but I'm working with the Asus Zenbook touchpad, which is a pile of crap.

I have tried saving my current perspective, and tried both layout saving options under Settings > Environment > General settings.  Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you again for your time.

Make sure that "Right click in the build messages -> Fit automatically" is not enabled.

Thanks for your response...

It is currently and always has been unchecked -_-

Ahah! It turns out that enabling that "fit automatically" when right clicking in the messages column actually solved my problem. But unfortunately, it also fits everything in the "File" column, which means that it cuts off the end of the build message if the message is long.

Thank you - never would have figured that out if I didn't look there...

Cheers,

if you have long error message i would recommend to use the "build log" tab
