all doits evaluated in UI process. So, this is a feature.
And that's why UI process freezing, if you evaluating something lengthly.
If you want to run your snippet of code in background, just wrap it with fork:
[ ... do something... ] fork
It works too. I guess the only way to terminate the forked process is though the Process Browser (which has some unique name for that block like "[] in Semaphore>>critical" in this case).
Is there a way to refresh the Process Browser window so that it shows the new processes (it only refreshes for me if I close and open it)?
