Unfortunately, that is something we cannot program around because of the checker engine we are using. Basically, the checker “takes over” the text page and you have to wait until the checker is finished. That was a concession we had to make to make it compatible with as many editors as possible.

What you can do is highlight a portion of the document at a time using your mouse. Click any button to check. Then it asks you “Check on the selected text?” Click “Yes,” and only the area you highlighted will be checked. That way, you will not have to check through the whole document again.
