The user tries to read the message inside the box first.
The only way I know it was in a "Printing" box is because I reproduced
it again to see if I could read what box it was in.
If messages are not to stay on the screen for at least one second, then
they should be only "....." dot strings.
Also there should be a place to read them later... Like the error
console.

It could have been 'Tsunami Warning'. It could have been 'Error'. The
user tries to read it but it is gone. It is just not fair to show the
user something bait and switch style. Please tell them upstream. Emacs
doesn't do something like that. Thanks.
