Here is a problem I have had when using the Window List -- sometimes clicking in the Window List does things to the application *behind* the PL/SQL Developer window.
Try the following:
Open two copies of PL/SQL Developer (let's call them PSD#1 and PSD#2).
Make sure that the Browser is open in both.
Open and position the Window List below the browser in both.
In both PSDs, if necessary, move the divider between the Browser and the Window List 'up' (to the same location) so the scroll bar appears in the Browser.
In PSD#1, move the divider below the Browser 'up' (to a point higher than PSD#2),
and move the divider to the right of the Browser 'right', and open some windows.
Alt-tab between the two PSDs, and find the spot where the Browser scroll bar in PSD#2 overlaps the Window List in PSD#1; position the mouse cursor at that location.
Go to PSD #1, and click at that overlap position.
(You should see the scroll bar from PSD#2 'flash' on the screen when you let go of the mouse button.)
In using PL/SQL Developer, I have occasionally seen oddities pop up occasionally, and I didn't know what they were. In rare occasions, I have had one PSD 'look' like the frontmost application, but clicking the mouse slowly brings up graphical elements from another PSD behind it (like the other copy of PSD somehow became frontmost, but didn't redraw itself).
Actually, things pop up from whatever window is behind PSD, not just another PSD window, but it was easier to just keep this example using two copies of PSD.
I'd attach a picture of it, but I don't know how to post an image (and I don't have access to host an image at the moment).
EDIT: One note: You must click on a Window List item that is not the current frontmost window.
EDIT: Another note: Double-clicking will usually cause the oddity where stuff from both windows intermingles.
