When executing a query in the Editor, then move another window across in front of the open Editor, images of the dragged window stay dragged across Toad.
It is not possible to see Toad and you either have to wait until the query is finished or kill Toad. It doesn't matter if the database is local or a remote database on a server.
In order to replicate the problem please follow the steps below:
1. Create the test table:
========================
CREATE TABLE test_drag
(
ID NUMBER
)
========================
2. Populate the table with at least 6000 rows:
========================
begin
for i in 1..6000 loop
insert into test_drag(id) values(i);
end loop;
commit;
end;
========================
3. Go to the SQL Editor
4. In the DBMS Output window, go to DBMS Output and Turn Output On
5. Run the following program in the SQL Editor:
========================
DECLARE
CURSOR c_cabs
IS
SELECT id FROM test_drag;
cabno VARCHAR2 (30);
BEGIN
DBMS_OUTPUT.put_line ('START');
FOR cabs IN c_cabs
LOOP
cabno := cabs.id;
dbms_output.put_line('id = ' || cabno);
END LOOP;
DBMS_OUTPUT.put_line ('END');
END;
========================
While the program is running, drag any window over Toad. You will see dragged windows across the Editor.
When the code has finished, the dragged windows go and all returns to normal.
WORKAROUND:
None
STATUS:
Waiting for fix in a future release of Toad For Oracle.
