I think you forgot to attach your screenshot, but I verify that this is a bug that I can replicate on my end. Everyone should send in a fix-it request on this issue.

I probably spoke too soon. It is still working at it. Nevertheless, from a database perspective, this information ought to be retrieved in microseconds. Something is amiss here that needs to be addressed.

I'm not planning to include all of the wait time in my video. I'm just going to show how it effectively locks up. I'll probably show my task manager and then leave it at that. I think that's effective...
