Damaging the source code

hi all,

overall i am a very satisfied user of Xcode, so basically: thanks guys!

however

my project is getting bigger and bigger and the risk of damaging the source
code on a spot that is not encountered during debug-time is getting bigger too


what worries me is that often when Xcode is compiling/linking/running in the background and
a compile error arrises or a breakpoint is hit, the application (Xcode that is) becomes
the frontmost application and takes focus from my keyboard.


at that time i could be typing a small e-mail or whatever

ofcourse whenever this happens i immediately stop typing :-)

but in somecases a character or two enters my source code, in all cases so far this lead
to a compile error, but, it is thinkable that one day i will enter a character such a way that
will modify my code and the change will not be seen by me (and one of my customers
will in the end inform me, but that is ofcourse way-too-late)


i could ofcourse never type in the foreground when Xcode is preparing to run in the background
but this will have a serious effect on my effinciency as a worker


is there a workaround?
