Weird error on compile

Usually when I get errors on compile it warns me and breaks out of the compile then goes to the error if it can or close to it if not.

Today I was playing with some C++ Types and one of the members was called Reserved[3].  I accidently left the brackets and compiled at which point it gave an error saying invalid member then went to a line nearby the error.  Problem was the Compile progress box remained.  Clicking cancel didn't do anything and there was no X to click so I just did an Alt+F4 to get rid of it.  I also had some comment lines that errored out saying the line was too long after replacing the [] with () and it did the same thing...not sure if it was caused by the previous error or just that TYPE errors cause it though at this point.

No big deal yet...until I decided to open the FF Function Help to look up the ListView Get lParam function cause I was wondering why I have to specify Row and Col, at which point it popped up an access violation error and dumped out of FF without saving.  Must be something still running or not cleaned up when the compile progress isn't closed???  May want to fix the progress box in next version.  I know there was some weirdness with it sometime back and some band-aid like code was placed there to close it in those cases, but it appears some things still slip through.
