As far as my experience with this annoyance is concerned, it is when Flash videos/games are played that cause the console window to pop up over the viewer window and i never saw a console window pop up like this on any version of the viewer before CEF. I have always had media enabled in the viewer and on autoplay and never recall seeing a console window popup over the viewer ever before CEF. It is insanely annoying. Another place inworld where this annoyance can easily be seen is at http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Kindred%20Spirit%201/79/92/22
Even just seeing the console window pop up once in a while when in an area where even just one Flash video/game is, is quite annoying. The console window should never be seen just like in versions of the viewer before CEF. And in my opinion, disabling autoplay is no workaround at all. The console window should never been seen.

The problem comes from cef not using the chrome-sandbox (which would be the best solution really, but is not that easily done with the current way slplugin works).
The hack to get around it is forcing the dullahan_host into a job object and disallowing this job object to spawn any new children.
It is a two fold change, one going in apr, the other into dullahan.
I know it's currently expected behaviour for a console window to flash up on screen when MOAP media loads or the internal web browser is loading most pages, however because the console window flashes up a lot in media rich areas it can get quite annoying. It also causes the viewer to lose focus which causes problems, so I'm filing this as a bug.
Steps to Reproduce
Rez a couple of default box prims.
Set each prim to have the following media URL on all faces: http://www.gamingdelight.com/games/bubbleshooter.php
Make sure media is set to auto-play: Preferences -> Sound & Media -> Allow media to auto-play.
Stop & start all media using the media controls top right of the viewer.
Zoom camera towards & away from the media prims & rotate camera around the media prims.
Walk around the media prims while in mouselook.
Observed Behaviour
Each time a MOAP face loads its media, a console window will flash up over the top of the world view - see Fig 1 attached.
When there are a lot of MOAP objects on the region, the console window will flash up many times as your avatar moves around the region or you are camming around - this can get quite annoying.
On faster systems, the console window will disappear quickly but on slower systems the console windows will stay on screen for a couple of seconds or longer.
Each time the console window appears, it causes the viewer to lose focus which causes unwanted side effects:
Even if the viewer is out of focus or minimized and MOAP media is loading & unloading in the viewer, the console windows will appear on top of whatever program has focus - see Fig 4 attached. This is easily seen when:
Expected Behaviour
I would like the console window never to be visible.
Other Information
Nicky Dasmijn (Firestorm developer) has a fix available which hides the console windows from view. This fix will only work on Windows 8 and later however, due to a limitation in Windows 7 & earlier Windows versions - I'll let her explain why this is. Her fix works perfectly on my Windows 10 box.
