When using the function  
File\>Options\>Cleanup database  
it is possible to close the "Options" dialogue without terminating the cleaning up - the progress dialogue for the cleanup process stays open.  
If you select any (different) file in the files list it leads immediately to the display of a message box that an exception error occured and the application is in an undefined state.  
The cleaning up continues, though.

While the "Options" dialogue is still open, it is not possible to select any other file.

Can you really close the options dialogue while the database cleanup is running? I've checked here and don't see how it's possible right now.

Yes, I can.

Here are 2 Screenshots, both with the closed options dialogue:

And the exception:

To close the Options dialogue I click on OK.

This is a portable installation.

I've fixed this with the current Development Build [Mp3tag v2.87e](https://community.mp3tag.de/t/455). It's still possible to close the dialog (at least on some systems) and the editing should not be possible anymore.

Thanks for reporting!
