Description:
Expanding databases in the schemata view doesn't work as expected in a few cases.

How to repeat:
Having at least 4 databases (I have to scroll down to see all my databases because I have at least 30 of them, so maybe this has something to do with the issue) do the following:

1. Connect to your server
2. Try to expand your databases from bottom to top

Sometimes, the arrow will rotate pointing bottom and just go back to pointing right again. When this happens, if you had any other database expanded, a few of them will collapse at random.

Sometimes you could expand one or two databases, and with the third or more, all of them will collapse.

Sometimes, the software will just crash.

Expanding from top to bottom slows down this issue (I can expand at least 4 or 5 before getting all of them collapsed again) but this is totally random.

fixed in repository. will be included in 5.2.10

Thanks, it works great with the last version!

However, the first time I expand some schema in the Schemata view, the tables in the Overview tab gets bolder and "flashes" for a few seconds. Is this normal / expected? Thanks a lot!

An entry has been added to the 5.2.10 changelog:

In the SQL Editor, the database explorer of the Schemata palette in the side panel did not work correctly. Incorrect behavior included random collapsing of expanded databases and occasional crashing.
