When I press the red square button (Stop) in the Run|Tomcat view, it prints
Last packet sent to the server was 0 ms ago.

Disconnected from server
but the "Rerun Tomcat" icon is not enabled any more. Clicking the red cross (Close) button shows a message "Process 'Tomcat' is running/Disconnect from the progress 'Tomcat'?". Leaving the checkbox "Terminate the process after disconnect" unselected and clicking the Disconnect button shows a progress dialog "Terminating 'Tomcat'/Waiting for VM detach". Only when clicking the Cancel button, the Run|Tomcat view disappears and can be relaunched successfully.
I have this problem for a long time with a lot of IDEA versions.
