Stopped at a breakpoint in F12 Developer Tools causes Windows Explorer to freeze

Hello,

I'm not sure if this is the right thread to post this on, but I was stopped at a breakpoint in F12 IE Developer Tools (Windows 7 x64, IE9).  I wanted to do something else unrelated on my computer and I couldn't because Windows Explorer was basically frozen  I got a swirling blue donut when I moused over the taskbar, etc.  I couldn't really do anything until I Alt-Tabbed back to the developer tools and hit F5.  This is kind of mystifying that debugging a web page, could cause the main part of the computer's UI to freeze.  This doesn't seem like pre-emptive multi-tasking to me.  Maybe Developer Tools is running in the same process as Windows Explorer?  Any fix for this behavior?
