Description athompson 2011-07-25 17:04:28 UTC 
1. add some DBs to netbeans (all mine are SQL server instances)
2. restart the IDE
3. go to the "Services"  tab
4! open the "Databases" node

The IDE will "flicker" as it rapidly loses and regains focus.  It looks like some small external window is being created and destroyed, but it doesn't stay long enough for me to see what it is.  I don't know if it's a Mac thing, but I do know the IDE did this before I upgraded from Snow Leopard to Lion, and the IDE didn't used to do this.

The problem also occurs if you restart the IDE and attempt to run SQL from the editor (so it has to connect to the selected DB).

confirmed, i've seen it on my mac as well.
Comment 3 athompson 2011-09-29 18:15:44 UTC 
It appears to be a dialog that's repeatedly propping up and going away (perhaps one for each defined DB connection).  The dialog is titled "Connection Information" and says something like, "Please wait while we retrieve connection information".  Perhaps this message can be moved to the status bar, or better yet, remove it completely and just replace with a "busy" cursor.  Even if I cared why I was waiting, I could easily take a guess from the context of what I was doing.
