Are sounds on?  If so the pause is waiting for the exit sound to play (finish).
Alternatively with the gui, if "close 3d board" is selected the pause may well
be while this happens (easy to check with a restored window).

I've wondered several times why the hint dialog isn't modal (i.e. you can leave
it open and do other things), I don't think it updates if you make a move.
Anyone know why?  If not, changing it to a modal window would fix (hide) this.

This is what happens to dialogs (that haven't got a taskbar window) when they
are minimised.  We can either make the rollout window have a taskbar window all
the time or (possibly) when it's minimised - or live with it as it is...
