That darn white screen

[dgs!]

Is there anyway to prevent PL/SQL developer from locking up and showing that darn white screen?
For instance, recompiling a package that is (unknowingly)currently running... Click anywhere after hitting the compile button and the screen locks up and goes white.
My only work around is to 'Shift click' and open PL/SQL Developer again, but I loose all the windows that I had open.
I don't want to crash shutdown the first PL/SQL Developer... I am fine waiting for it to time out, but I gotta get stuff done.

You can enable the "Background compilation" option (Tools > Preferences > Program Window). Now the Program Window will use its own database session and its own thread.

Cool, thanks Marco
