Description:
When you select SQL Editor or Admin from the home screen, it sometimes takes a very long time to load the feature. During this time a new loading screen has been implemented that blocks access to all other programs that are active on your desktop. I'm sure that during development when the feature loads snappily that this is not noticeable. However, when it takes a long time and it often does, this is unacceptable and prevents you from doing anything else while waiting for it to load.

How to repeat:
Just click it

Suggested fix:
Non blocking loading screen

An entry has been added to the 5.2.20 changelog:

The HUD blocked access to other applications that were running. This was particularly a problem when Administrator or SQL Editor were launched from the Home screen, and took a long time to load.
