Howdy,

I just added an error to your MWE document to force the compile, via pdflatex, to stop. When I press e the compile aborts and the Console window drops to the background. So even then I'm not seeing your problem. I wonder if it could be related to the localization; what language localization are you using?

Good Luck,
