:VimtexCompile does not respect :silent

[lucc]

Description

I have an autocomand to run VimtexCompile on BufPostWrite but its output results in a "press enter" prompt. Prefixing the command with silent does not help.

Steps to reproduce

I am using neovim only
I run these commands:

:let g:vimtex_compiler_method = 'latexrun' " not sure if needed for the problem
:edit minmal.tex
:au BufPostWrite <buffer> silent VimtexCompile
:write

(I was not able to stop neovim from loading my ftplugin/tex.vim file even though I am using the minimal init file. I hope that does not interfere with reproducability, it does influence VimtexInfo a bit.)

Expected behavior

File is saved and compilation starts but no "hit enter" prompt. Just the output from :write in the command line.

Actual behavior

File is saved and compilation starts, message from write and the text VimTeX: Compiler started in background! appear in the command line causing a "hit enter" pormpt.

Do you use a latexmkrc file?

no
