YubiKey Manager feels unreponsive and doesn't disable UI elements on long running background tasks about yubikey-manager-qt HOT 2 OPEN

Hi,
We have released a newer version - 1.2.5. Feel free to try it out and please let us know if this is still an issue.

from yubikey-manager-qt.

This is still an issue.

The GUI takes seemingly forever to load and set anything and while it does, it does not give you any feedback in its current state.

For the PIV settings, this even leads to PIN attempts being exhausted as sometimes the first click on applying settings does not actually do anything (but there is no response from the GUI, I just simultaneously check the current settings using the CLI), so the user tends to press the button to apply the settings multiple times, potentially queuing multiple commands, exhausting their PIN usages (as changing their PIN from an old PIN also exhausts the PIN usages when the old PIN is wrong).

I have tried it with both the AppImage and with the package in the pacman repositories.

Tested the same functionality on a MacBook Pro (Apple Silicon M3 Pro, using Rosetta to run the app) and it works fine there, with the same Yubikey (5C NFC, Firmware version 5.4.3).

The interesting part here might be that long-running background tasks only run for a long time in the GUI, the CLI reflects the changes immediately, thus (I would guess) it is likely an issue with the task processing in the GUI.
