I got a hit from my modifications.. (see pic)
My Project.module is modified so line numbers don't quite match in pic.

It's line 2354 on master.
https://gitlab.com/gambas/gambas/-/blob/master/app/src/gambas3/.src/Project.module?ref_type=heads#L2354

If LockIt() Then Return True

Looks like Lockit() returns true because Application.Busy is not zero  (but
why i do not know)

Hope that Helps Ben :)
