phpMyAdmin, the SQL window, and "Loading" message not being cleared

Every month I need to run a dozen or two scripts to update tables in our MySQL database at InMotion, on a shared server. To do so, I primarily use the SQL window in phpMyAdmin (ver. 4.0.10.7, as provided by InMotion), and paste the SQL code into the window. In a few cases, I execute a stored procedure instead. When execution starts, a "Loading" message appears in the SQL window. If it is a process that completes quickly (e.g., less than a minute or two), the Loading message disappears, and everything is fine. However, most of my updates take anywhere from a few minutes to maybe 30 minutes. In those cases I(whether SQL script or stored procedure), the Loading message never goes away, no matter how long I wait, even though the process will have completed successfully. The only way I can tell that the process is done (as far as I know) is to click the browser's refresh button every 3 or 4 minutes. If the refresh comes back without the Loading message, I know that it is done. And I know that it completed successfully because I can then look at my tables. Does anybody else have this problem? Is there some other way I should be doing this?

Hello Richard Veith,

Sorry to hear you are having issues with your 'Loading' message not disappearing from phpMyAdmin. That is not something we have been able to duplicate here. Does this occur with different browsers or only the current one? Have you checked with phpMyAdmin support and seen if someone else has the same issue?

Kindest Regards,
