Hi, Is there as specific reason why Lazarus IDE stops compiling a project when I open the 'Environment > Options' dialog? I've tested, and it seems to happen with a lot of dialogs. Start a long running compile - but don't dare open any dialogs in Lazarus IDE, otherwise the compile freezes. Close the dialogs and the compiling continues. I've tested this on a 32-bit and 64-bit machine, and on Linux and Mac OS X. Any no, it's not just the screen refresh that doesn't update - the compiling physically pauses until the dialog closes. ie: hard-drive activity stops too.
Is this by design, or just another bug? I would imagine with todays multi-processor and multi-core systems, software should at least be able to do two or more things at once. NOTE: MSEide has no problem with compiling in the background (neither has my experimental IDE), so it can't be a FPC limitation, but rather something specific to Lazarus IDE.
