Calculations stop when the plot window is minimized

[anotherche]

I apologize for repeating the question I already posted on community.freefem.org. I decided that it is logical to repeat it here for FreeFem developers, as it didn't cause any response from the community.
I have been using FreeFem for many years (on Windows) and I am very grateful to the developers for this package! But after all these years, I finally decided to ask about one very annoying feature of FreeFem.
Why does the calculation stop when the graphical window (in which the plot is periodically refreshed on iterations) is minimized? Is it a bug, a feature, or some option that I cannot find in the documentation?
If I restore the plot window, the calculation resumes (if the delay was too long, the calculations are not resumed at all). It seems that ffglut stops the whole process when it doesn’t find the plot window to send data to.
I think the code needs something like checking if the plot window is minimized to just skip sending the graphic data and not delay the calculations.
