meshlab filter console output missing

I upgraded to MeshLab version 1.3 and was frustrated that when I issued filters on a mesh like "Remove Duplicate Vertices" there was no longer a console output listing the results of the filter ( in this case how many vertices were removed).
The console apparently only appears if you have the Layers dialog open. So go to View > Show Layer Dialog, the console shows up at the bottom.
What's really annoying is that when you change the focus away from mesh lab and then back to mesh lab the Layers Dialog conveniently closes itself. So I have to keep opening and reopening it.
Update: It seems that the bug that makes the Layers Dialog disappear only happens if the Layers Dialog is locked to the right of the main window. If you drag the top of the dialog completely outside of the main meshlab window and leave it dangling some place then it doesn't disappear.
