Check out... View|Options|Editor|Code Assist. Uncheck "Use inline assistance"

I believe in the spring. We just started the cycle.

What kind of statements are you executing when you see this behavior? If it's truly finished then we should get an end execution notification from the DB and Toad should update accordingly. It sounds like we are not in your case. If you have a reproducible case, run SQL Tracker (in same path as Toad.exe) and monitor Toad. Reproduce your scenario and see if there is a query that is hanging. It's possible that your Toad options require some post-execution queries to be run that may be problematic.

In the past it has been brought up many times that query cancellation can be slow. We send a cancel request and await the DB's response. As far as I know the delay is due to the DB or the client DLL taking a long time to process the request, but my knowledge of the OCI and DB in this area is pretty shallow so that's just a guess.

Thanks for acknowledging this as a bug. I really don't like the new param assistance - the old tooltip was just fine, but hey, that's just me. When is 11.1 going to be released? btw, there's also a very annoying bug of tabs stuck in "executing" even though the db session finished it's work. Pressing "stop execution" or trying to close the connection do no good. It won't even let close Toad normally. the only way out is to kill the process. Are you familiar with this bug? you can see other people complaining about it here: http://toadfororacle.com/thread.jspa?threadID=30082&tstart=0.

This is a bug. The param assistance popup underwent some major changes for Toad 11 and the shortcut to show it was non-functional. I had it "fixed" prior to release, but there were too many outstanding issues with it to keep it in place. It's on my TODO list for 11.1. Michael

Hi, In Toad Options I have "Enable parameter assistance" turned on (and Use inline assistance turned off). Whenever I write a procedure/package method/function name and then "(" I get the parameter list, but once it disappears pressing the Code parameters tool tip shortcut (CTRL+SHIFT+SPACE) doesn't do anything. The only way to get the parameters again is to delete the "(" and write it back again. I also tried to change the shortcut combination under Editor-->Behavior-->Key mapping...-->Code parameters tool tip, but it did not change anything. In version 10.6.1 it worked like a charm. Please help! Thanks.
