Synopsis: Premature Tool Switch: Outputs --> Error List

Description
When compiling code and the flow of the compile is:

Degree 6: Examining System
Degree 5: Parsing Classes
Degree 6: Examining System <-- Switch to the Error List tool happens here
Degree 5: Parsing Classes
Degree 4: Analyzing Inheritance
Degree 3: Checking Types
Degree 2: Generating Byte Code
Degree 1: Generating Metadata
Melting System Changes

Eiffel Compilation Succeeded

Eiffel Studio GUI will prematurely switch from the Outputs tool/Eiffel Compilation to the Error List tool even if there are no errors. It does it after completing Degree 5 the first time and switching back to Degree 6.

In most cases there is no error generated, but one is led to visually believe there is an error, but then no results.

This is not a big deal, but is a little annoying.
