[25.2.61.4981] Endless "Cannot change to a disconnected session" message

Toad for Oracle - Beta
1

Hi!

in the Beta Version 25.2.61.4981 I stepped over an issue, which I already received also in many other versions.

Situation:

  • Connected via VPN to database 1.
  • Work on database 1.
  • Disconnect VPN but keep Toad connection open.
  • Connect via VPN to database 2 (different VPN tunnel).
  • Work on database 2.
  • Close toad connection to database 1 after several minutes.

Here the message box "Cannot change to a disconnected session" appears.

Some times this message appears 20-30 times before the connection gets closed.
Some times it appears that often that I need to kill the toad task, because I'm unable to exit this situation.

Feels like toad is in some kind of loop during the closing process, which shows this message.

Hi Julian

We have some code that gives that message if you do these steps:

  1. make 2 connections in Toad
  2. An editor opens automatically with each connection
  3. rt-click on the 2nd connection and choose "disconnect" (not close).
  4. Go to the editor of the 1st connection and try to change connections on the editor to the disconnected connection
  5. if you get a reconnect prompt, hit cancel.
  6. the "Cannot change to a disconnected session" message appears, but only once.

I wasn't able to get the message to repeat multiple times. What windows do you have open in Toad for each connection when you close connection 1?

I'm going to make a change for next beta to not show that message, and allow a window to change to a disconnected session. It seems pretty harmless.

Let me know if this solves the problem or not (or causes a new one)

Hi John,

sounds perfect - I'm looking forward for the next beta version to retest this.
If it still appears, I'll try to record it maybe.
