## Message Window

System messages, or application-specific messages like status changes, or error messages are displayed in the message window.
In the Java client the message window has one context menu for the text and one for the frame:

Context Menu Text | Context Menu Frame
Scrolling Activated: When a new message is added, it will jump to the end of the message list. Deactivated: When a new message is added, it will jump to the position of the cursor in the message list. | Close Closes the message window. To reopen it, click View > Dockable Windows > Messages.
Wrap lines Breaks the lines according to the length of the message window. | Floating Sets the window into floating mode. It can be positioned wherever, even outside the client window.
Find... Searches through all listed messages and highlights the search term. | AutoHide Hides the message window when not in use. Only the window title is visible. When positioning the mouse pointer over the window title, the window is reopened.
Save as... Saves the message list. | Maximize Maximizes the window to the full possible windows size. To minimize again, open the context menu and select Restore.
Clear Deletes all messages from the list. | Dockable Activated: The message window can be docked anywhere in the client window. Deactivated: The message window is automatically set into floating mode.
