SQL Window and Auto Refresh

[Marco van der Linden]

If I have set a SQL Window (Window 1) to Autorefresh and then open a new SQL Window (Window 2) to write a new query, every time Window 1 refreshes, Window 2 looses its input focus (without switching back to Window 1), and I have to mouse click to be able to continue typing.

I would like the behaviour to be either automatically switch to the refreshed window (which would be tiresome if there are more windows on Autorefresh) or ignore refreshing windows if not activated.

I cannot reproduce this. Focus stays exactly where is was. Are you using the latest PL/SQL Developer version? If so, are you using any Plug-Ins?

Ok, I did some experimenting. Try this:

select *
from   dual;

select *
from   dual;

Select both statements and turn on Auto-refresh. Now if you start a new SQL window and start typing, focus will be lost on refresh of the other window.

Okay, apparently you lose focus when more than one statement is refreshed. We'll fix it.
