Recent Connections also appearing in a custom folder

[Neil Smith]

I have many connections defined, grouped into folders and sub folders . I never noticed this problem until recently, so maybe it is connected to having over a certain number of folders or connections. What I am seeing now is that as well as recent connections appearing in the "recent" folder, they are also visible in one of the folders which I'd added. They don't persist, and if I remove one from recent, it disappears from the other menu too, so it isn't actually modifying my stored connections, but it makes accessing them more confusing..

This indicates that the folder has one or more connection properties set, in which case it will implicitly include matching connections. For example, if the folder has its "Database" property set to "chicago", all connections for the "chicago" database will implicitly be included. If the folder has its "Username" property set to "sys", all connections for "sys" users will implicitly be included. You can clear these folder properties to resolve this.
