When I run just about any query, the mouse pointer rapidly changes between the I-bar pointer and the “busy” pointer (hourglass or blue circle).
First of all, it’s very annoying and hurts my eyes.
Second of all, it prevents me from being able to do anything else in toad, which is the whole point of the “execute queries in threads” option. (The same thing happens without that option checked, by the way.)
There are some queries where the mouse pointer is normal, and others where it flashes goes crazy. I haven’t found a pattern for which queries have which result.
It’s not just when running queries from the editor. Other places in toad (like the schema browser) cause the mouse to flash between 2 different pointers, giving me a headache.
