In the 17 beta, working with a DB in OCI and getting expected disconnects when the instance is downed for maintenance. Toad reports the DC in a popup with a few options like reconnect. If I close the window (because I know the OCI DB will be down for a bit), Toad sort of locks up, beeping at me if I click anywhere in the window. It feels like there is a hidden popup somewhere, but attempts to - or - to see it don't reveal anything.
Thoughts?
Thanks!

p.s. I'm on some not-super-recent build of Win10, if that matters.
That does sounds like a dialog that should be on top of Toad is behind it. I don't think the old-ish windows 10 build is to blame. These don't happen often in Toad but sometimes they do. I wish I could consistently reproduce it so that I could try to fix.
Did you have any other dialogs open in Toad at the time ? Any describe or modal windows? Or can you tell me what you tried to do in Toad right before it happened (specifically, I'm wondering what SQL might have run)
I suppose you tried all the usual ESC, ENTER, Alt-Space-M tricks.
Edit - hm, so the reconnect error dialog showed properly, and you closed that and now you're hung. The first time I read this I thought it was the reconnect dialog that wasn't showing. I wonder if it's just the same dialog showing a 2nd time, or what.
Ummm...errmmm...funny how one can forget that ESC stands for "Escape". [blush]
Yeah, that worked.
I had the Editor window up. Last command was a SELECT against a non-working DB link that was run with F9 (returned ORA-12154) . I don't recall what the situation was when I got this yesterday, but I'll pay more attention the next time it pops up. With a metric ton of network hops between me and an OCI DB, I'm sure I'll be getting more DCs.
I just got DC'd from OCI (on purpose, knowing there was a maint window). This time I was on an SB window (almost always have windows fully expanded) of another connection. When I got the popup, I closed it as before. But this time, I got another, smaller popup with the same ORA- disconnect message, which I also closed.
So, perhaps it does depend on what window is front during the DC?
