The IDE reads the output in a loop using Application.ProcessMessages. This means
any event pauses reading the output.A ShowModal runs in its own loop, pausing
the calling code. That's why.
Only a rewrite would change this.

I already started a rewrite of the IDE's code to execute external tools. But I
can't say when it will be ready.
