Description
Turn off automatic syntax checking in DrRacket.
Clone Urlang (https://github.com/soegaard/urlang/ )
Open urlang/main.rkt and click the "Check Syntax" button.
https://github.com/soegaard/urlang/blob/master/urlang/main.rkt
The syntax checking takes a long time, but it should only affect that one tab.
Until the syntax checker is finished DrRacket complete blocks. To a degree that
using tab back and forth between DrRacket and a browser window, makes
one believe that DrRacket has crashed.

Research direction
Clone Urlang and open urlang/main.rkt in DrRacket, then click the "Check Syntax" button to reproduce the blocking behavior. Start by tracing the Check Syntax entry point and determine how to keep checking limited to that tab; done means DrRacket remains responsive while checking runs.
