This is usually due to long running process on the UI thread. The UI will start reporting the app as non-responding. Also, if you put another window on top of it, then move it off, the window will show the echo of the other window.
Some languages have some type of Yield command to get around this. But, the "right" way to do it is to run the process on another thread. Although I think Kovid does spawn another process and communicate with IP, perhaps he is putting the UI thread in a wait state rather than using some type of call back.
BUt, I'm only guessing based on issues I have seen with windows apps.
