Hi, I came to report the exact same issue. I am working to get my local teams using the redgate tools, but I am hesitant to advise anyone to install these add-ons at this point due to the monumental frustration and work stoppage it causes using SSMS. Any time a connection becomes unavailable for any reason (no tabs open at all, but the server open in object explorer) SSMS hangs entirely. This is not a VPN (issue is present when a local instance goes offline) or SSMS version (multiple in use/all same behavior) specific issue. I usually just want to go the the offending server in the object explorer and disconnect, but right clicking on the server object causes it to hang even worse. I will then have to sit for ~1-2 minutes waiting for the disconnect option to become selectable. If I get frustrated waiting for this foolishness and click anywhere else on the screen then by the time the SSMS prompt unfreezes my clicks elsewhere have killed the context menu. The only solution is a force quit, making me lose any other open tabs I was working on. The expectation that every developer/admin is going to disconnect and log off of every connection in SSMS every time they pick up their laptop to prevent an add-on from losing its mind is unreasonable. This issue is pretty much a show-stopper in usability for SQL Prompt. I have been advising selective component installs of the toolbelt to get people working, but we had hoped to utilize SQL Prompt alongside the rest of the tools. I will add my voice to the request for a fix here. Thanks, Joe / comments
