Toad hangs when generating a script in the Schema Browser. In the Schema Browser's | User tab, attempting to open the Script tab (right hand pane) for a User, Toad seems to hang for a while with the hourglass.
This can also happen after an upgrade to v11.x, for any database object, when pressing the Script tab.
