Remote Access: Possible to initiate a new connection while connecting to the old one #18106

@SaschaCowley

Description

@SaschaCowley

Steps to reproduce:

  1. Initiate a new Remote Access connection via the "Connect to Another Computer" dialog.
  2. Before the session starts (while still connecting), open the Remote Access connection dialog again.

Actual behavior:

The connection dialog is still available when connecting to the relay server. I have not tested what happens if one manages to initiate a new connection while still connecting to the first.

Expected behavior:

While connecting to a Remote Access server, the "Connect" and "Disconnect" items and gestures should be unavailable. Consider popping up an indeterminate progress dialog while connecting.
