Unable to connect to server with ParaView 5.12

Issue is there: https://gitlab.kitware.com/paraview/paraview/-/issues/22623

For me (using Paraview 5.12.0), I found two workarounds:

  1. As explained above, there is a hidden dialog box that’s stealing the focus. To get rid of this dialog box, press Enter or Escape keys on the keyboard.
  2. The second workaround: I have the plugin StreamLinesRepresentation (see ToolsManage Plugins) that is automatically loaded. When I disable it, I no longer have this issue of the frozen dialog box.

I hope this help.
