Keep table tree open when refreshing table list about heidisql HOT 4 OPEN

Absolutely reasonable.

Based on the forum threads, I already spent a couple of hours with non working approaches for keeping the db open, re-opening it after the refresh, re-opening it with a timer-hit etc. Nothing worked so far without a crash. The issue sounds easy to solve but it definitely isn't. Mostly due to existing complexity and interlocked events trying to read and write data behind the tree nodes.

Keeping this issue open probably brings up new ideas for solving that.

Is this the same situation, when I delete a table and the table tree is collapsed?
(And not open anymore)

Possible additional solution: when tree is opened and db is selected, jump first to some db table (like first one) and refresh on it (once that refresh with a table will not close the db tree, and seems that it will do the same effect, once that the query is the same).

I'd like to upvote this but I understand from reading this thread that it might be complex to implement.
I'm sure you have tried a boolean IsRefreshing that is set to true to prevent some background stuff to happening.
If you can track which dbs are uncollapsed, couldn't you loop through them after refreshing and open them again. I mostly work with C# and WinForms but I'm trying to understand this anyway.
