I have a visually distracting "progress bar" in the bottom pane of SQL developer that keeps moving from left to right and back, even if no query is running or when I am not doing anything.

How do I turn this thing off?

I experience this behavior on Windows with an installation from a zip file. The version is 24.3.284.2209.

I have not installed any additional tools - the only modification after unpacking the zip file was to add a connection in the connection manager.
