ℹ Computer information

VFP version: VFP 9 SP2 / VFPA
ObjectExplorer version: 3.3.3

📝 Provide detailed reproduction steps (if any)

Open a DESKTOP form. For example GoFish, Settings
Run ProjectExplorer (via Key)

✔️ Expected result

Form should still respond

❌ Actual result

Form is blocked until ProjectExplorer is closed. For example, it's not possible to close the Form in any way.

That is the way modal forms work in VFP, unfortunately.

Possibly ObjectExplorer should somehow point to the problem. Or go, in such cases, modal itself. A non modal form over a modal one is good for havoc all the time. :)

But it seems reasonable to me that you close the non-modal form first since you cannot access the modal form until you do.

The chain is

non modal form (GoFish result)
modal form (GoFish options)
ObjectExplorer (non modal)

I must close ObjectExplorer first, GoFish Options does not respond. This is a bit odd and surprising.
