How to fix this?

blender v : blender 2.82 (alpha)
OS : windows 10 Pro

thanks

bpy.context.scene.render.display_mode has moved into the user preferences, so the addon can't change it to "open new render window" mode, then change it back anymore.

Also, I'm not sure if the addon should be using one of the "temporary" windows anyway, since you can't open multiple of them because they reuse an existing temporary window.

bpy.ops.screen.area_dupli('INVOKE_DEFAULT')

Can be used to duplicate only the current area into a new, non-temporary window.
Then the area type of that permanent window can be changed as before.
It creates the window with the same dimensions as the area being copied - which can be a problem when used from the top bar Window menu, since that is very wide but not very tall.

I've found that the following

bpy.ops.screen.info_log_show('INVOKE_DEFAULT')
bpy.ops.screen.area_dupli('INVOKE_DEFAULT')
bpy.ops.wm.window_close()

creates/reuses a temporary window with a reasonable default size,
duplicates the info log into area into a new non-temporary window,
then closes the temporary window (for some reason - might be a race condition with respect to what the "current" window is).
Unfortunately it also remains tied to the workspace in the main window, so if you switch to say the animation workspace, it's possible the area you duplicated will change type.

For me, it sometimes opens an Animation Nodes Editor instead (a node view from an addon), and sometimes a Compositor view.

If I disable the animation node addon, it works -- not sure if this is their fault or not.
But it can be worked around by doing something like

if area.type == 'NODE_EDITOR':
    area.ui_type = 'ShaderNodeTree'

to always open a Shader Editor.
