Description:
After connecting to a database over an SSH Tunnel the system will "hang" indefinitely after the SSH connection is reset and the user tries to execute a command.

How to repeat:
1 - Connect to a DB over an SSH Tunnel
2 - Execute any SQL command (should work OK)
3 - Wait till the connection is dropped
4 - Execute any SQL command

The system will "hang" while waiting for a response from the server, furthermore any attempts to close the server will show "cannot close IDE while busy" (or something similar)

Thanks, I shall give this release a go.

FYI I've always used the following ssh configuration to prevent my sessions timing out, works for me in the shell in keeping the connection "hot". Maybe this could be a useful avenue of investigtion:

edit your local ssh config file
sudo nano /etc/ssh/ssh_config
append or modify the following values
ServerAliveInterval 15
ServerAliveCountMax 3
