I noticed a difference between how Plugin error messages are displayed in Webform and Entity Forms.

Webform: The error alert is shown right on top of the page and form

and on Entity Form it loads same area as form error notifications:

The markup difference Webform

<p class="text-danger"><span class="fa fa-exclamation-triangle" aria-hidden="true"></span> An unexpected error occurred from ISV code. (ErrorType = ClientError) Unexpected exception from plug-in (Execute): DummyPlugin.ThrowErrorPlugin: System.Exception: This is a dummy error </p>

vs. Entity Form which sit inside a MessagePanel div

<div id="MessagePanel" class="message alert alert-info alert-danger alert-danger" role="alert">
		<span id="MessageLabel" tabindex="0"><p class="text-danger"><span class="fa fa-exclamation-triangle" aria-hidden="true"></span> An unexpected error occurred from ISV code. (ErrorType = ClientError) Unexpected exception from plug-in (Execute): DummyPlugin.ThrowErrorPlugin: System.Exception: This is a dummy error</p></span>
	</div>

I picked this up in one of my portals and then replicating it in a demo portal. The plugin alerts load different between Web and Entity Forms and we use Plugin errors on specific forms where extensive validation is done in Plugin.

Its inconsistent but at the moment we have Javascript on the Webform to handle this but ideally a permanent solution that is consistent between Web and Entity form would be good.
