Just another bug, I think. A similar thing happens to me, though not with HideWindow, and the form doesn't disappear. I get stuck where clicking commit, rollback, or stop has no effect. If there's a development window visible I can usually click on it and get back to dev, but I still need to force quit and restart for things to be happy again. The solution is to figure out what you're doing wrong and stop doing it. I don't know of any HideWindow bugs - can you give more details?
