Lol. Case in point. Sometimes I just hit the wrong key and things go bad. What I was going to say is that often I have an error that forces me to kill the IDE, then I reload everything, and like a complete idiot hit the run button again out of habit. So I only get to fix the problem on the third try. :)
Simply moving to a non-modal window that doesn't lock up the IDE feels like a much better fix.
