Do you mean like Cider test report buffer? Or is this some sort of evaluation related buffer Assuming a package update and Spacemacs update (pull) before this issue occured Nothing jumps out at me from the Spacemacs commit history that seems related, could be a change in a package itself

for example, cider eval pprint last sexp opens the *cider-result* buffer but it doesn't pop into view

I've updated Spacemacs itself (without updating packages) and the eval pprint functions open in a *cider-result* buffer. I'll try update the 103 packages next :))

I still get a *cider-result* buffer after updating to all the latest packages, pulling the latest Spacemacs code and updating Spacemacs configuration from template. I didnt see a config variable that could be set to change this behaviour. If its not fixed by an Emacs restart or Spacemacs update, then maybe #C0617A8PQ has ideas

I recompiled Emacs and it behaves, now

my setup always goes to the cider error buffer even though i told it not to.
