pgAdmin connects 100s of times
When I start up pgAdmin it connects 100s of times. Have others seen this, and what is the fix? Many messages in these green bars pop up and then go away. See screenshot below:

1) There is a dedicated pgAdmin list:
https://www.postgresql.org/list/pgadmin-support/
2) Have you looked at the Postgres log to see what the queries are
actually doing? You may need to crank up the statement logging if they
are mostly SELECTs.
3) What version of pgAdmin?
4) Do you have jobs set up with pgAgent?
6) How many servers do you have set up and do they have queries in Post
Connection SQL tab?

I think I have found the problem. PgAdmin will save open tabs from one session to the other. These seem to accumulate and each one opens a connection. After a while, there are so many that pgAdmin can't even open.
Thanks.
