This isn't a problem, this is a *feature*. No, really.
Forms 4.5 greatly reduces the time required to generate a form by adding support for incremental compilation. This means that if you make a one-line change to a trigger or procedure and then re-compile the form, Forms does not need to re-compile all the PL/SQL in all the triggers and program units in the form. Instead, Forms re-compiles just the trigger or program unit that you changed. This is in contrast to Forms 4.0 and 3.0, where generating a form meant re-compiling all the PL/SQL in the entire form.
