Black window opening with M+ on windows

Bugs & Issues

Hi,
in the latest 3-4 releases of Molflow+ on windows, opening the software also opens a black window that sits there doing nothing:

This is not a dramatic problem and it doesn’t impact M+, but it gets slightly annoying with multiple studies opened when alt-tabbing between windows:

This seems to be an issue starting with 2.9: I’ve tried with the previous versions and the issue arises from 2.8.12 to 2.9.0

As far as I remember, the terminal window is there for the last 3 years (~30 releases). It was put there when a former colleague working on Molflow removed progressbars and status messages from the GUI in 2.9 - they needed to be printed to the terminal. I’ve put back most, so soon I’ll remove it, good that you reminded.

By the way, we don’t recommend opening multiple instances at the same time, memory is one issue, but config file (for example recent file list) gets overwritten by each instance.
