Worksheet-Bug: Running "compile" instead of "run statement" renders the SQL Worksheet unusable

André BonhôteFeb 26 2026 — edited Feb 27 2026

Hi

Running “SQL Developer (Worksheet): Compile” on an SQL statement (instead of “run statement”) breaks the worksheet.

Steps to replicate:

  1. Connect to your favorite DB and open a new worksheet
  2. Type select sysdate from dual;
  3. Run “SQL Developer (Worksheet): Compile” (which was accidentially mapped to F8 on my side)
  4. Press CTRL+ENTER

Expected behaviour:

  • Query gets executed

Actual behaviour:

  • A new line will be added to the file
  • The connection button (in the status bar) doesn't react anymore
  • The command SQL Developer (Worksheet): Attach Connection is not available anymore

Cheers

André
