compare objects : unstable behavior

[Babo]

hello,
i just obtained the latest 902.1621 version.

run IDE, do not connect.
select connection. right click "compare objects"
you will get a dialog.
"target schema" connect to whatever you need.
on the "options" tab select from drop down the target schema.
go back to the "selection" tab. it has all objects.
BUT the "compare" button is disabled.

sometimes it works. but i yet have to figure what's the right order(?) of clicking connections before i can document this.
extremely annoying...

Update:
it seems like all these connections are taking some silly amount of time and it seems that something is going on behind the scene.... i think i need to turn some kind of debuging on..
how do i do this ?

Copied from another topic from yesterday:

You can modify the PL/SQL Developer shortcut and add the DebugSQL parameter. For example:

"C:\Program Files\PLSQL Developer\plsqldev.exe" DebugSQL

This will create a debug.txt file that is generated in the PL/SQL Developer directory or in the %APPDATA%\PLSQL Developer directory (e.g. C:\Users\\AppData\Roaming\PLSQL Developer).

Katrin,
thank you will do in a moment.

It also take some extra long time to close the dialog itself.

ok. i have the log. where do i send it to ?

i think i have to change the schema in the "User" on the "Selection" tab to enable the "compare" ....
Update:
i was able to reproduce this oddity:
connect user1 as main;
open compare objects dialog
"target" -> conn user2
at this point it may or may not have "compare" enabled.
if it's not enabled:
i have to re-connect user1 using the option in the "compare dialog"
i have to re-connect the user2 by clicking on the "target" button.

Please advise.
