Hi Martin,

I wonder if at this point you can take over fixing this bug. I am
unfamiliar with windowing. So I might not be able to propose a fix in
perspective.

BTW I use this action to suppress displaying the compilation window and
it works.

  (cons (lambda (buf action)
          (and (assq 'may-fail (cdr action))
               (with-current-buffer buf
                 (derived-mode-p 'ggtags-global-mode))))
        (list (lambda (&rest _) t)))

The only thing I want is a way to tell compile.el not to pop up the
window.

Leo
