Log mentions Krylov solver when using direct solver

Issue #960 new
Alexander Gary Zimmerman created an issue

Here's a MWE and a brief discussion highlighting the issue on AllAnswered.

Personally I find it misleading to print messages about a Krylov solver when the user only intends to use a direct solver. The important issue: It appeared to me that an iterative solver was being called, which could have been a possible source of error in my application code.

Garth Wells suggested raising this as an issue. Bitbucket is requiring me to enter "Kind" and "Priority" information, so I have left these at the default settings and assigned Garth who maybe can apply more appropriate triage than I can. From my perspective: This has caused me some mild confusion for a while, and cost me about half a day's time once I decided to dig into it.

Thanks.
