Thickbox Should Not Close When Clicked Outside Of Window

Description

When you click on the overlay, Thickbox will close, which is the desirable function of Thickbox. This should be prevented while an upload is in progress though. Perhaps adding: 

jQuery("#TB_overlay").unbind("click",tb_remove);

When the upload starts and then once the upload finishes call: 

jQuery("#TB_overlay").click(tb_remove);

Would be a good working method to fix this. Of course the uploader iFrame would have to call this method from the opener window, since Thickbox is instanced from there.

Sounds fair to me. Also related: when multiple uploads are in progress, it's possible to stop them by clicking Insert Into Post on the first one. Those buttons (and perhaps the whole Show detail sliding whatsit) should be disabled while other uploads are in progress, in the same way you've suggested above.

And just in case it comes up: under normal circumstances the Thickbox should definitely close when you click outside its box.
