There are so many messages. More than half a year ago, I learned to ignore a large part of the messages. The really important message got lost in the shuffle. At that time I made myself unpopular by expressing harsh and biting criticism. I continue to work with FreeCAD because I do not want to destroy my investment of life time. But my mistake was to download the latest version last week. Now there are more messages whose meaning I cannot grasp. For example, this one:
QLayout: Attempting to add QLayout "" to QWidget "", which already has a layout.
I'm building a model under Assembly 4, which has worked very well in the past, and now actually, if it weren't for these damn messages. In addition to the old output window, there is now another output window, which displays, among other things, the previously mentioned message.

Dear people, if you want to improve FreeCAD, then first remove the old quirks, e.g. that PolarPattern finally works without a workaround. I don't need a new message window with messages that I can't make sense of anyway!

Dear chrisb, you don't have to answer me unless you give me a tip on how to turn off this damn new message window.

Maybe you just learned about things that may happen when using a development version. :mrgreen:

I cannot understand what this message means. For me, FreeCAD runs "normally", I have no hindrance before and after when this message appears. Only the message is irritating. It may be that the message is interesting for the developers, but I lack the insight into the context.

Typically kind of messages that should be there in debug builds but not presented to user on release builds IMO.

Usual warning:

a development version is WIP so there could be some "intermediate states" before a refined code is implemented.

Development version is quite usable an relatively safe to use in everyday and not "mission critical" jobs.

However for what you have payed to use FreeCAD you receive more than you have invested on it. (That sadly is near 0 in money or even in contribution like proper bug reports, Wiki pages, help to other users and similar trivial things)

Kind regards
