I like my "auto-restore" suggestion better. And I suggest it would accomplish the same thing.
My suggestion is that the current behaviour, where the build panel is exposed automatically when a build is started, be retained. But when the build completes successfully, Creator should restore the panel layout in effect before the build started. In this way, if you devote as much of the screen as possible to edit views, and if your build is clean, your screen layout will be restored. The layout will be altered for the time it takes to build, but I would argue that showing the progress of a build is useful for us coders. If you are performing a lengthy build, you can always manually hide the "compile output" panel. If the build fails, the "build issues" panel will remain on screen -- which is clearly desirable.
