After a refused connection the retry timeout is reset to 30s when mouse enters the window

I work with a website that, for security reasons, disables SSH/SCP/SFTP connections after a period of no usage.

If I attempt to connect WinSCP when connections are disabled, the connection fails, and WinSCP then waits 30 seconds to retry.

I move my mouse over to a different window, and enable the SSH listener. I then move back to the WinSCP window, which is counting down towards 0 and then retry the connection. Let's say, for example, that there is 7 seconds left on the countdown.

On the mouse entering the window, the counter resets to 30 seconds, which is annoying!

I can't think of a reason why this should happen, rather than allow the countdown to continue from its current value?

This is working as designed. The point is to prevent WinSCP from reconnecting right under your fingers. If you want to reconnect anyway, just click Reconnect.
