I don’t know if anyone from ABB robotware development even read these bug reports but anyway…

In RW6 (and according to the manual, image 1 below) ErrWrite makes the error “pop up” on FlexPendant if omitting [\W] or [\I].  
This is not working in RW7 with the new FlexPendant. Only notification is shown on top status bar, image 2 below.  
Expected is for it to pop up and show like when error is selected like the in last image below.

I have similar problems at a customer site.  
No errors pop-up at all. When the customers press the start button and there is an error preveting the program from start the topbar is just counting up numbers, no dialog is presented to the user.  
This has created alot of confusion. It would have been better if the errors open automatically like IRC5.

Does anyone from ABB have any comments on this?
