"Quick Connect" stops connection

[lax]

I see. So I take it that once, for example, one selects options>preferences, the multi-tabbed dialog box that pops up at that point is no longer operating in the 'main application thread', but is a 'child' thread or whatever (I don't really know what those terms mean, I'm just guessing), which is why one may freely navigate the various tabs etc of the preferences dialog without affecting other activity?
