modal windows

[mike]

When a PL/SQL Developer modal window pops up and then another modal window from another application pops up, I need to answer PL/SQL Developers first, or else the modal window will disappear from PL/SQL Developer and I can't do anything.

This usually happens when there is an error message from PL/SQL Developer and then my e-mail pops up saying I have an e-mail. If that can be fixed, I would sure appreciate it!

Thanks,

The error message stays in the status bar of the SQL Window/Command window

so you can see it any time.

It would be nice to be able to right click there, and click help to get the text of the error message thow

That's not the case - the program totally locks up and I can't do anything. I think that I may not have been clear.

Our standards require that we have

/
show errors;

at the end of all of our package files and make them compile as sql scripts. I was told that Kintana (our version control/migration software) needs it to be that way.

That causes a tab in the program window labeled "?" and when it's compiled, it compiles fine, but on the ? tab, an error message, "Ora-00900 Invalid SQL Statment" pops up as I would expect. I don't mind that too much - minor inconvenience to use PL/SQL Developer with all of the other benefits.

If I do the folowing steps though, it locks up every time.
1. The e-mail program displays a modal window saying I have a message.
2. Compile the package in PL/SQL Developer and a modal window with an error message pops up.
3. Close the e-mail modal window without reading the e-mail.
4. The PL/SQL Developer error window disappears at the same time that the e-mail window closes and I can't do anything because PL/SQL Developer wants me to press "OK" on the error window that is no longer visible.

i have had this as well. if you open another program, then alt-tab back to plsql developer, i have found that the error message will sometimes appear on top of plsql developer allowing you to press ok. it is even more frustrating for me as i use 5 virtual desktops as well, you can get an error message from one plsql developer appearing on another desktop which also has plsql dev running. haha.. fun and games.
