That's a sensible suggestion, thanks. Maybe we can conditionally add that suggestion when there are warnings/bad boxes. I can do this, but not right now, probably tomorrow or in the next few days. Feel free to ping me here if I miss to do it this week. > Also, the error list has a menu that allows me to change what kind of errors > are displayed but it's useless here: AucTeX errors out instead of showing an > empty list when there's nothing to display) Sorry, I don't get what you mean here. > I found this default surprising, until I realized that it's also used for > TeX-next-error (and it makes a lot of sense to jump to errors first, instead > of warnings).

I don't quite agree on this. I think there are already many options available in this regard, I fear that adding even more complexity (different behavior for `TeX-next-error` and `TeX-erorr-overview`) is going to confuse users, that tend no to read documentation at all (and it seems you confirmed this suspect ;-). I could agree on changing the defaults of `TeX-debug-warnings' and `TeX-debug-bad-boxes' (I do it in my init file), but I'm personally against duplicating options for the two error reporting tools. If instead you truly believe this is a good idea, please start a discussion at auctex-de...@gnu.org so that other people can participate, bug tracker is not a good place for this stuff.
