Some issues with dedicated consoles

[goanpeca]

The dedicated run in ipython console has some issues.

1.) When a script runs, there is a flash for a moment of

before it goes blank again, but then

2.) any output (prints, exceptions) that may or may not occur in the script never show up

3.) Changing the working directory (file explorer, global working directory) every time a new scripts runs turns out to be a very annoying behavior, and I think we should rethink that

That's an easy fix.

This probably happens the first time you run in a dedicated console. Errors always appear for me afterwards.

This has been the default behavior for all Spyder history, i.e. changing the cwd to the current file directory on execution, so I'm reluctant to change it.

We are now simply reflecting that in our UI, which is what most people wanted.

Yes, indeed, but this is still a bug, users should not need to run a script twice to see what failed.

Sure, I just wanted to verify that it only happens once.

Please propose an alternative. Just complaining is not constructive.

I guess I have to adapt my workflow. If I think of something, will let you know

We could change the default option to not change the cwd on evaluation, which I also think is a saner default.

@rlaverde, @dalthviz, @andfoy, what do you think?

Yes, I also find annoying that the cwd changes too frequently

[andfoy]

I agree with @rlaverde and @ccordoba12

Ok, I'll work on this one for 3.2.2
