Yes - I too have noticed this same problem. Same build. Actually, I have been having this problem since first upgrading to 9.x. For laptops, I know this problem is associated with docking and undocking. If I restart my laptop in the dock, then pl/sql works fine. However, if there is an undock opertation, the pl sql toolbars flash anytime a new window is opened and will progressivly deteriate until it is unusable. Seems to be related to the fact that the network switch from wired to wireless. Restarting PL/SQL does not fix the problem. Only rebooting laptop while docked fixes it. Or rebooting laptop undocked and not switching to a wired connection will fix it.

Marco, is it possible to make this a top priority. You can see that there are multiple people that are experiencing this issue and it could be effecting your sales. This problem didn't exists with Version 8 so there has to be something noticeable that has changed. I am willing to test out different executable's for you again to try to figure this out. Please let us know on the progress of this issue.

Thanks

I found out that it happens for me after I plug in external monitor. I have to reboot the machine to get it back to normal. But the "un-minimize window" workaround works. You can argue that it is hardware related, but this does not happen with any other software that I use, including old Windows XP applications, so I think that the issue is with PL/SQL developer.

PL/SQL Developer seems to be very flaky with the latest releases. I have another complaint that they are not looking into.

I see nearly two months has passed and there is no update. I think I may be forced to roll back to version 8.x. This issue is annoying to say the least.

I agree. Annoying is probably not a strong enough word tough. I am starting to look into other database development IDE's as an alternative. Like maybe ClearSQL from Conquest Software or products from Embarcadero.

Has anyone else noticed the problem subsides if the main PL/SQL Dev window is not maximized? If I unmaximize it, but resize it to fill the screen, I don't get the flashing nearly as bad. It's just annoying because I remote to my machine from different resolutions, so I keep having to resize the window.

Yes it does go away if you unmaximize it but that gets really annoying especially when I am constantly moving the program between my two monitors and it gets maximized and then I have to manually re-size it.

Marco, any progress on this?

Hi,

I noticed it happen when PSD is maximized ? I use it not maximized but I sized the application to take almost the full size of my monitor, this way it does not flash...

Do you have the same behaviour.

Serge

Re-sizing is a work around but that is annoying to always have to do.
