The new console window in v1.2 becomes the front window whenever a new message appears. This is annoying, particularly when e.g. exiting a break loop using cmd-. because that causes an exitBreak message to appear (and hence removes focus from the listener).

Compiling a file with this contents:

(prog1
    (declare (ignore foo)))

yields a confusing error message

Welcome to Clozure Common Lisp Version 1.2-r9226-RC1  (LinuxX8664)!
? (compile-file "foo.lisp")
;Compiler warnings for "/home/hans/profiler/foo.lisp" :
;   In an anonymous lambda form: DECLARE not expected in (DECLARE (IGNORE FOO))
> Error: No MAKE-LOAD-FORM method is defined for #<CCL::SIMPLE-PROGRAM-ERROR #x
00040CFAF3D>

The "DECLARE not expected" is clear, but the MAKE-LOAD-FORM thing is really confusing. It seems as if the compiler continues when it can't.

Observe:

Welcome to Clozure Common Lisp Version 1.3-dev-r11962-working-0711 
(LinuxX8664)!
? (defun foo1 () #'bar1)
FOO1
? (defun foo2 () #'common-lisp::bar2)
FOO2
? (defun foo3 () #'common-lisp:bar3)

> Error: Reader error: No external symbol named "BAR3" in package #<Package "COMMON-LISP"> .

Note that FOO1 and FOO2 will both error at runtime.  CCL should have warned
when defining those functions as well.
