Spyder Version: 2.3.0
Python Version: 2.7.6
Qt Version : 4.8.4, PyQt4 (API v2) 4.9.6 on Windows
pyflakes >=0.5.0: 0.7.3 (OK)
pep8 >=0.6 : 1.4.6 (OK)
IPython >=0.13 : 1.2.0 (OK)
pygments >=1.6 : 1.6 (OK)
sphinx >=0.6.6 : 1.2.1 (OK)
psutil >=0.3 : 1.2.1 (OK)
rope >=0.9.2 : 0.9.4 (OK)
matplotlib >=1.0: 1.3.1 (OK)
sympy >=0.7.0 : 0.7.5 (OK)
pylint >=0.25 : 1.1.0 (OK)

What steps will reproduce the problem?

1. start spyder and there an iPython console
   1. run this code:

# -- coding: utf-8 --
from PyQt4.QtCore import QTimer
from PyQt4.QtGui import QApplication

def fun():
    print "there will be an exception after this"
    a

app = QApplication([])
timer = QTimer()
timer.start(1000)
timer.timeout.connect(fun)
app.exec_()

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

The print command is shown in the IPython Console. But the exception is only shown in the iPython Kernel window (in spyder 2.2 it was not shown at all!). The exception in the kernel window is not nicely colored and cannot be clicked.

Is it possible that one could show the exception also in IPython console? This would faciliate finding errors a lot.
Or is it possible to at least make the error in the IPython console clickable?

I reported the issue upstream because it's not related to Spyder but a problem with IPython itself. If you want, you can continue the discussion there: ipython/ipython#6509
