Description Roman Mostyka 2008-07-29 16:19:03 UTC 
1. Add MySQL server to the IDE.
2. Set server properties.
3. Rightclick MySQL server node.

Result: "Start" and "Connect" items are enabled. When "Connect" is pressed message that server isn't reachable appears.
If item "Start" is enabled, then server isn't running and it is impossible to connect to it and therefore item "Connect"
should be disabled.

I actually had it set up this way before.  The problem is, we have no solid way of knowing whether the server is running
or not.  As you have seen with our other P1 bug, attempting to connect to see if the server is running can cause all
sorts of hanging problems.

So the state of the server is either "Connected" or "Disconnected."  When it's in the Disconnected state, we don't know
whether the server is running or not.  So both Connect and Start actions are potentially valid.
