Description:
When establishing a remote MySQL connection (Standard TCP/IP) to an external shared hosting server (Hostinger, using srv2207.hstgr.io:3306), the editor window locks up indefinitely on "starting editor session".
The same connection works successfully on lightweight clients (HeidiSQL) and locally within an application, ruling out network, host, or credential configurations.
The issue appears to be an infinite loop or metadata-parsing crash inside the new Electron shell architecture during the initial database/schema inspection phase. The streamlined Preferences panel in v26.7.0 lacks the legacy UI option to disable automatic metadata sidebar fetching.
How to repeat:
1. Configure a standard remote TCP/IP database connection to a live hosting server.
2. Attempt to open the connection from the home dashboard.
3. Observe the editor getting stuck on the "starting editor session" loading status.
